The government has adopted a Draft Law on Adequate and Equitable Representation, aiming to foster a professional public sector and improve inter-ethnic relations. Prime Minister Hristijan Mickoski emphasized the government’s commitment to creating a stable and just state, overcoming past issues of division and clientelism.

Mickoski stated that the new law seeks to establish a merit-based administration that serves all citizens, prioritizing knowledge, integrity, and professionalism over party affiliation. The goal is to build institutions that unite rather than divide, opening opportunities for the most qualified individuals.

The Draft Law will be submitted to the Venice Commission for review to ensure it meets the highest standards and aligns with European values before being presented to the Assembly. The government views this law as a responsibility to all citizens, fostering fairness, respect, and progress for everyone.

Mickoski stressed that a strong and expert administration is essential for all citizens, regardless of ethnicity. Fair and efficient institutions will provide better service and build lasting inter-ethnic trust. The law aims to ensure adequate and fair representation for all ethnic communities while safeguarding the qualities of each.

He congratulated the VLEN coalition and representatives of ethnic communities, highlighting the law’s importance for Macedonians, Albanians, Turks, Roma, Bosniaks, Serbs, Vlachs, and all citizens, as it will stimulate opportunity while preserving quality.
