Opposition Accuses Prime Minister Mickoski of Interfering in Mazuti Case
The LSDM party today leveled serious accusations against Prime Minister Hristjan Mickoski, alleging he directed the Public Prosecutor, Nenad Saveski, concerning the ongoing Mazuti case. The accusations center around Mickoski’s reported involvement in dictating the actions of the Public Prosecution Service. During recent statements, Mickoski admitted to speaking with Public Prosecutor Saveski while in his role as Prime Minister, providing instructions regarding the prosecution’s approach.
He stated, “If this does not happen, then the prosecution will certainly lose its credibility.” This exchange has been interpreted by critics as a clear directive. This action follows previous instances where Mickoski has reportedly exerted influence over other state institutions, including the parliamentary speaker and television media outlets. Concerns are being raised about a pattern of interference within the Public Prosecutor’s Office, particularly given Mickoski’s role in selecting and appointing Saveski.
Opposition figures argue that the Prime Minister’s actions represent undue pressure on the Public Prosecutor. They maintain that any accountability should be pursued, but that the Prime Minister cannot exert pressure on the public prosecutor. The situation highlights ongoing concerns about the independence of the Public Prosecutor’s Office under Mickoski’s leadership.
