Skopje, 27 April 2023 (MIA) – President Stevo Pendarovski assessed that the events at Wednesday’s session of the Judicial Council don’t befit this body which has a very responsible role, considering its powers in the election and dismissal of judges and assessment of their work.

These actions, said Pendarovski in his official reaction, additionally harm not only the credibility of the Judicial Council, but also the citizens’ trust in the judiciary.

“In line with his constitutional powers, the President proposed Vesna Dameva to Parliament as a member of the Judicial Council of North Macedonia in 2019. Selim Ademi was elected as a member of the Judicial Council upon the proposal of the Parliament of North Macedonia,” the President’s Office said.
