Zoran Ristoski Appointed Director of North Macedonian Radio Television

The Council for Radio and Television Programs of North Macedonia has announced the appointment of Zoran Ristoski as director of North Macedonian Radio Television. The decision follows a formal process conducted in accordance with the Law on Audio and Audiovisual Media Services and related regulations. This marks the first change in leadership for the public service broadcaster in 15 years.

Previously, Marjan Cvetkovski served as director for the past fifteen years. The appointment of Ristoski represents a significant shift within the institution. Six candidate applications were evaluated during the selection procedure.

To ensure impartiality, the vote was conducted anonymously, with candidates presenting their qualifications under a coded system to conceal their identities. The appointment has already drawn criticism from opposition parties. Concerns have been raised regarding the prior relationship between Ristoski and Prime Minister Hristjan Mickoski, dating back to their youth.

The Council’s decision underscores a deliberate effort to establish a new leadership figure for North Macedonian Radio Television. Further details regarding Ristoski’s plans for the radio and television station will be forthcoming.
