t is now the institutions’ turn to decide if they want to act and investigate. We hope this sends a message to those who abuse office, for which they were elected by the people, that they are held accountable and are not welcome to the United States, says Ambassador Angela Aggeler on the State Department’s blacklisting of Struga Mayor Ramiz Merko.
The United States Ambassador says Merko’s name is not the only one closely scrutinized by Washington.
“We will continue to cooperate closely with those who seek to destroy the cancer of corruption in North Macedonia and build a strong, prosperous and vibrant society that all citizens deserve,” added Aggeler.
