Filipçe: Vučić’s fall is weakening the Balkan criminal network and will affect ties with Mickoski

Venko Filipçe, leader of the SDSM, said at a press conference today that Aleksandar Vučić’s weakening is also bringing down the criminal network in the Balkans. According to him, this situation will lead to the resolution of all criminal links connected to Hristijan Mickoski. Filipçe said that Vučić had been Mickoski’s mentor and commander, while his style of governing had been copied in North Macedonia through the intertwining of political, business and media relationships. “VMRO-DPMNE is essentially a smaller party, an extension of their sister party, SNS, from Serbia. Aleksandar Vučić was his mentor and commander, the person who gave Hristijan Mickoski instructions on how he should act here, in our country. Unfortunately, he implemented that system in our country with great success,” Filipçe said.
