According to Jovan Despotovski, one of the names mentioned as the next leader of SDSM, Dimitar Kovachevski’s decision to step down from the leader’s post in is correct, but long overdue.
“As a member of SDSM, I received information yesterday that the party leader has resigned, which was long overdue, but a step in the right direction. It had to happen much earlier. I expect this step to be followed by all the other members of the party so that we can immediately apply in the part of open discussion what are the reasons for this result, a catastrophic debacle. The fact is that the number of votes is at a historical minimum, unfortunately. We have to see how to proceed,” said TIDZ director Jovan Despotovski in an interview with Studio 10.
