The Central Committee of VMRO-DPMNE held a meeting on Saturday at which it gave party leader Nikola Gruevski full support in dealing with “the challenges presented by the Social Democratic Party’s irresponsible conduct”.

In the press release issued after the meeting, the Central Committee condemns “the disgraceful and destructive conduct of the SDSM leadership and their strategy for destabilizing the Republic of Macedonia”.

“VMRO-DPMNE has a historical responsibility to fight against these destructive moves whose aim conflicts with the national and state interests. Our message to all is that we will not allow the execution of foreign scenarios, destabilization of the country and violent taking of power contrary to the will of the majority of citizens. All those intent upon pushing the state into such scenarios should give up on time,” the press release says.
