LSDM has accused Prime Minister Hristijan Mickoski of undermining the country’s stated commitment to European Union integration. According to the party’s statements, Mickoski is allegedly pursuing alternative geopolitical alignments, suggesting a strategic shift away from the EU path. The allegations focus heavily on recent diplomatic engagements.
Specifically, LSDM highlighted a working lunch held between Mickoski and the President of India, characterizing the meeting as potentially signaling a pivot toward non-European alliances. The party questioned the nature of the discussions, suggesting they might relate to alternative international groupings. LSDM contends that Mickoski has demonstrated a pattern of prioritizing partnerships with nations outside the established EU framework.
These alleged alternative partners cited include Hungary, represented by Orbán, and Serbia, represented by Vučić. The recent engagement with India is cited as the latest example of this pattern. The accusations suggest that the focus of Mickoski’s diplomatic efforts is increasingly directed toward major powers and blocs, such as BRICS, which includes Russia and China alongside India.
LSDM questioned whether the discussions with Indian leadership involved positioning North Macedonia within such groupings, implying that the country might be signaling that EU membership is no longer the primary objective of his administration. These claims suggest that Mickoski is actively seeking international partnerships outside the traditional European sphere.
