Skopje, 8 May 2024 (MIA) - The Ministry of Interior did not register any serious disruptions of the election process on Wednesday. Perhaps these were the most peaceful, democratic and fair elections that we’ve ever had, especially from the aspect of security, Interior Minister Panche Toshkovski said at a joint press conference with the additional Deputy Minister of Interior Mitko Bojmacaliev, after polls closed.

Toshkovski voiced gratitude to all police officers, election observers and citizens who, he stressed, “in a peaceful, fair and democratic manner showed that we deserve to be a part of the European family”.

“Enormous gratitude to all who helped make this day the way it was. Long live the Macedonian citizens, long live Macedonia,” Toshkovski said. 

The additional Deputy Minister of Interior, Bojmacaliev, echoed the Minister’s statement about fair, democratic and free elections.

“The citizens were able to freely express their right to vote. The Macedonian police rose to the occasion this time as well and created all necessary prerequisites to ensure that today’s elections are held in a democratic way,” Bojmacaliev said.
