PRMizjavaAs I announced in my latest address, regarding the personal requests for withdrawal of the Decision for pardon - liberation from criminal investigation without implementation of the procedure that have been received, consultations are underway with legal experts in order to find a possible legal solution.

Out of the consultations with top legal experts in the country so far, I wish to inform you that no legal basis for withdrawal of the decision has been found. Consultations will continue in function of finding a solution.

I hereby call upon the leaders of the political parties - signatories of the Przino Agreement to join the process and offer a legal solution in accordance with the Constitution and laws of the Republic of Macedonia.

As I have done before, I will continue acting solely and exclusively in line with the Constitution and laws of the Republic of Macedonia.

As regards the protests, I wish to state that no one has been deprived of the right to express their dissatisfaction or protest against any decision by any state institution. However, in the realization of this right, my appeal is not to disturb public peace and order and not to destroy private and state property.

The Republic of Macedonia has faced challenges and crises before, but has always managed to find solutions through dialogue within the institutions, led above all by the interest of citizens and state interest.
