The United Macedonian Diaspora (UMD), the leading voice for Macedonians abroad, extends its heartfelt congratulations on the formation of the new Macedonian Government under the leadership of Hristijan Mickoski as the new Prime Minister of the Republic of Macedonia. This important political development marks a new chapter in Macedonia's journey toward greater prosperity, stability, and integration within Southeast Europe and the international community.
UMD Chairman Argie Bellio stated, “Macedonia has faced significant challenges in recent years, impacting its dignity, stability and development. The formation of this new government under Prime Minister Mickoski’s leadership represents a crucial opportunity to address these issues, including the unconstitutional name change done by the previous government, and set Macedonia on a path toward recovery and growth. The UMD stands ready to offer its support and collaboration to help Macedonia realize its potential and achieve a brighter future.”
The formation of the new government marks a significant moment for Macedonia, and the UMD looks forward to a fruitful collaboration with Prime Minister Mickoski's administration to further the nation's progress, economic development, and fight against crime and corruption.
UMD Co-Founder and President Emeritus Metodija A. Koloski stated, “We hope that the confidence shown during the election period and the vision for a prosperous Macedonia will show its results. This new government must bring hope for strengthened democratic institutions, judicial system, education and healthcare institutions, economic growth, and enhanced diaspora relations.”
The UMD acknowledges the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead for Macedonia. With a renewed focus on political stability, economic reforms, and social cohesion, we encourage Prime Minister Mickoski's government to foster an environment conducive to progress and unity. Moreover, we are hopeful that the new administration will prioritize the development and implementation of a new National Strategy for Diaspora, ensuring that Macedonians abroad remain an integral part of the nation's development.
Koloski further added, “The Macedonian diaspora is a vital part of our national identity and heritage, Macedonia’s best ambassadors abroad. We look forward to working closely with the new government to leverage the talents, resources, and commitment of Macedonians abroad for the betterment of our homeland. The National Strategy for Diaspora, if fully realized, can bridge the gap between our communities worldwide and Macedonia, fostering greater cooperation and mutual support.”
UMD Macedonia and Europe Director Gordan Jordanov remarked, “Prime Minister Mickoski's administration signals a new chapter for Macedonia. We are eager to see the implementation of policies that will drive economic development and strengthen our democratic institutions. The UMD is committed to supporting the government's efforts in fostering a robust and inclusive society. A National Strategy for Diaspora is a critical tool in these efforts, and we anticipate its successful execution.”
The VMRO-DPMNE-led coalition's platform of reforms and policies aimed at combating corruption, improving public services, and stimulating economic development resonates with the aspirations of Macedonians worldwide. We believe these efforts will not only improve the quality of life for all citizens but also strengthen Macedonia's position on the global stage.
As a global organization representing Macedonian interests, UMD remains dedicated to supporting initiatives that promote the welfare and advancement of our homeland. We urge the new government to prioritize key issues such as the preservation of Macedonian cultural heritage, the protection of minority rights in neighboring countries, and the strengthening of Macedonia's international partnerships.
In closing, the UMD wishes Prime Minister Hristijan Mickoski and his administration success in leading Macedonia towards a brighter and more prosperous future. We stand ready to collaborate closely and contribute to developing and implementing a National Strategy for Diaspora.
