Former Macedonian President Stevo Pendarovski has renounced his right to state pension, deciding instead to resume his academic career.
As a former president, Pendarovski will not use the state pension to which he is entitled by law, because he has already returned to his academic career as a professor at the American University College in Skopje, his team told the media.
Members of the Ministry of Interior will continue to secure the former president in accordance with security assessments.
The rights arising from the highest state office are used by former presidents Branko Crvenkovski and Gjorge Ivanov.
