SDSM leader criticizes Prime Minister over Ratko Mladic honors

SDSM President Venco Filipce has criticized Prime Minister Hristijan Mickoski for his silence regarding government members honoring war criminal Ratko Mladic. Filipce noted that certain government officials, including a former deputy prime minister and current minister, have expressed praise for Mladic, whom Filipce described as a war criminal responsible for the Srebrenica genocide.

Filipce questioned whether the Prime Minister’s lack of reaction constitutes tacit support for these actions. Additionally, the SDSM leader criticized the government’s handling of the recent tragedy in Kočani and its perceived lack of empathy toward the families of the victims.
