Skopje, 20 June 2026 (MIA) - Prime Minister Hristijan Mickoski said Saturday that the Government reshuffle will finish by the end of the month and expects the list to reach the Parliament by July 1.

PM Mickoski was quizzed by reporters on yesterday's talks with coalition partner Vlen but he did not provide details "in the interest of the process."

"All options are on the table. The meeting went well, we are discussing options on portfolio changes and I believe we will close the first part of the process rather soon. We are set to meet with ZNAM today and discuss all strong and weak points. Therefore, we will formalize everything by the end of next week so that the list reaches lawmakers by July 1," said Mickoski.

According to him, the reshuffle will be followed by discussions on changes on the local level.

"There is also a large number of directors of public enterprises, and there are places where we can do better. We are satisfied with most of them, but there is room for improvement from the aspect of local offices. The process will continue over the summer, and we will also be active regarding the VMRO-DPMNE membership in parallel," said Mickoski.

Minister of Social Policy, Demography and Youth Fatmir Limani said he has not discussed with the PM the topic of him being part of the reshuffle.

"We are not in these positions to be a burden for the PM or anyone else. We are here as players who work for the people's benefit," said Limani.
