Legal challenges involving North Macedonian PM Mickoski
Overview
In September 2026, North Macedonian prosecutors sought an arrest warrant for a man from Kumanovo following a criminal complaint regarding alleged death threats made against Prime Minister Hristijan Mickoski.
By October 2026, the Prime Minister faced a separate legal matter involving a defamation lawsuit filed by former public prosecutor Lenche Ristoska. Ristoska is seeking 300,000 denars in damages, alleging that the VMRO-DPMNE party issued 18 statements attacking her integrity during her prosecution of the ‘Talir 1’ and ‘Talir 2’ cases. Mickoski, representing the party, failed to appear at a Skopje court hearing for the case. While Ristoska characterized his absence as a ‘disrespect to the court,’ his lawyer stated he could not attend due to urgent official duties and noted that his personal presence was not legally mandatory.
