Macedonia’s Deputy Foreign Minister Andrej Zernovski has denied he discussed with US officials becoming a candidate in next year’s presidential election in Macedonia.

Mr Zernovski was in the US a fortnight ago on an official visit and met with some key US government officials, US Congressmen as well as Damon Wilson Vice President of the very influential strategic think tank, the Atlantic Council. see link here

“During my visit to Washington,” Mr Zernovski said, “and in the meetings I had there were discussions about potential candidates for the presidential elections.”

His statement in Macedonian:

“Vo tekot na mojata poseta na Vasington, na nitu edna od ostvarenite sredbi ne stana zbor za potencijalni kandidati za pretsedatelskite izbori.”
