Skopje, 3 October 2023 (MIA) - Prime Minister and SDSM leader Dimitar Kovachevski has denied being part of any negotiations with Nikola Gruevski or other VMRO-DPMNE figure.

Asked if he has received a USB drive that included the Criminal Code amendments, Kovachevski told Sitel he has not seen a flashdrive for a decade, since other technologies are currently used.

"I have never communicated with Nikola Gruevski, only saw him once at the opening of a theatre. I represented a company I headed at the time and attended the state-sponsored event. Otherwise, I have never had any communication with the former PM and ex VMRO-DPMNE leader, and I believe I will never have," says Kovachevski.

He notes that Mickoski and Gruevski have identical political positions regarding the country's isolation and its non integration in the EU.

"Take a look at the position of the incumbent VMRO-DPMNE leader, who is against the country's EU integration. He has continually tried to find excuses, has failed to demonstrate any decisiveness, and that is why a debate has opened within that party who is the big and small person there," says Kovachevski.
