Skopje, 25 December 2025 (MIA) - Prime Minister Hristijan Mickoski extended Thursday greetings to believers celebrating Christmas according to the Gregorian calendar, wishing them prosperity, spiritual peace, and good health.

“May these festive days fill our homes with joy, love, and God’s blessing. May the birth of the Savior bring hope, unity, and warmth to our hearts, especially in times when we need shared strength and support. Let us reach out to our neighbors and fellow citizens, regardless of differences, to those in need, the most vulnerable, and all who face challenges,” Mickoski said in his greeting.

“Christmas,” the Prime Minister wrote in his greeting, “is a holiday of giving and sharing mutual love and understanding.”

“Our tradition shows that together we are stronger and can overcome any challenge. In the spirit of Christmas, I wish progress, stability, and unity for our homeland. Let these festive days remind us that together we can build a stronger and more successful Macedonia, where every citizen feels valued and hopeful for the future,” Mickoski wrote.

Mickoski noted that it is the responsibility of our generation, with God’s guidance, to fight for a better life and a stronger Macedonia for our people and for the future generations.

“Let us commit ourselves to building a stable, economically strong and fair country that offers everyone the opportunity to work and a happy life in our homeland. May the light of Christmas guide our common goals towards a brighter future! Wishing you a Merry and Blessed Christmas! Christ is born!” Mickoski said in his greeting for Catholic Christmas.
