VMRO-DPMNE’s Valentin Manasievski has accused Venco Filipche of associating with criminals and drug users, presenting photographic evidence to support his claims.

Manasievski highlighted a photo allegedly showing Filipche with Andon Stojkov, identified as a former president of SDMM Strumica. Stojkov was reportedly apprehended by police in Stip two days prior for drug-related offenses.

According to Manasievski, the images suggest a close relationship between Filipche, Stojkov, and Zoran Zaev. He presented a separate photo purportedly depicting Stojkov and Zaev in a friendly setting.

Manasievski questioned Filipche about the extent of his connections to individuals with criminal backgrounds and the nature of their association.
