Skopje, 8 December 2025 (MIA) – Parliament Speaker Afrim Gashi extended his congratulations on the national holiday honoring St. Clement of Ohrid.

“The work of St. Clement of Ohrid represents the foundation of literacy, education, and the spiritual culture of the Macedonian people. His legacy is a universal value that transcends religious and ethnic boundaries and stands as a symbol of knowledge and progress. This day reminds us that investing in education, culture, and knowledge is the strongest foundation for building a stable, just, and democratic state. In these values, we recognize a common goal – a strong, united, and forward-looking society for all citizens. May this holiday inspire even greater dedication to education, science, tolerance, and mutual respect,” Gashi wrote.
