Dear party leader Hristijan Mickoski, respected members and friends from VMRO-DPMNE, allow me to wish you all the best at your convention today to elect your candidate for the president of the country. 2024 is not only a crucial year for the European future, considering the elections for the European Parliament in June, but it is also particularly important for your country, which very soon, already in the spring, will go to the crucial presidential and parliamentary elections. We wish VMRO-DPMNE as a member of the European People’s Party all the best and success in the elections, said Patrick Voller, Director of External Relations of the European People’s Party (EPP) on Saturday.
