Gordana Siljanovska-Davkova

VMRO-DPMNE nationalists won convincingly on a night when North Macedonia also elected its first female state leader since independence in the 1990s.

University professor and lawyer Gordana Siljanovska-Davkova, who is supported by the right-wing opposition party, VMRO-DPMNE, said after the victory that she will be the President of all citizens, regardless of ethnic or party affiliation.

He called on the neighbors to support, as he said, balkanization, help each other and be real politicians. However, the professor who competed for the post in 2019 as well, but lost against Pendarovski, has been criticized for her nationalist rhetoric during the election campaign. She proposed the formation of a tribunal for the KLA war of 2001, a statement attacked as anti-Albanian.

Like the leader of the VMRO-DPMNE party, Davkova also opposes the constitutional changes for the inclusion of the Bulgarian minority, as conditions for unlocking the integration process. However, it has vowed not to block such a step if a 2/3 majority in Parliament is secured.

In her program, she describes the Prespa Agreement that changed the name of Macedonia to North Macedonia as an open issue and has stated that in her public speeches she will refer to the country as Macedonia.

Likewise, the future prime minister refuses to accept the name North Macedonia and has promised to follow a tough line towards Sofia. Such an attitude would lead the country to a confrontational approach with its neighbors and risk blocking the process of joining the European Union.

Bulgaria has demanded that Skopje amend its constitution to recognize its Bulgarian minority.

In 2022, Bulgaria agreed to a proposal by the then French Presidency of the EU Council to lift its veto on the start of Skopje's accession negotiations when North Macedonia added the Bulgarian minority to the country's constitution.

The ruling SDSM was prepared to make the changes, but did not have a majority to win the parliamentary vote.

Voters in the Balkan nation of 2 million have grown frustrated with the slow progress of the government's bid to join the European Union, which was met with optimism in 2005 but has since become an emblem of Macedonia's lost promise. of the North.

Persistent corruption and slow development have angered voters against the ruling party.

The opposition is likely to form coalitions with smaller partners to win a majority in parliament. Discussions are expected to take place in the coming days.

Mickovski's coming to power risks disturbing the fragile inter-ethnic relations even more because of the increasingly aggressive language he uses against the largest Albanian party, Ali Ahmeti's DUI.
