This Government is a hundred percent determined for NATO and EU membership, and that is how it will remain. The Secretary General of the Government, Dragi Raskovski, has corrected his views and if you were to ask him today whether he is for NATO and EU, he would tell you that he is for NATO and the EU.
This was stated today by Prime Minister Zoran Zaev, replying to a journalist question on Raskovski’s previous views about NATO and the EU, pointing out that in democracy certain disagreement and opposing of certain conditions can always be expressed.
Zaev highlighted that by increasing the base for calculating the salaries of 5 percent, along with duty hours, that specialists will be receiving 52.000-53.000 denars, and our target is 100.000 denars.
According to him, that means more specialist staying in the country, and not leaving.
– We are doing everything, we are working on those issues how to make the decisions, and the decisions are in September, because the budget for 2019 is being prepared and we will immediately announce them through the media to the citizens, said Zaev.
