Kostadinovski stated that while a reduction in functionary salaries in exchange for a fair price for peppers is justifiable, he believes it is both politically prudent and responsible to anticipate concrete solutions. He emphasized the need for such solutions, particularly amid ongoing discussions regarding the budget allocated to the mayor of landowners. Kostadinovski noted that his party, SDSM, possesses a significant opportunity to absorb the financial burden that was unfairly placed upon it due to the 75% reduction of functionary salaries.
He indicated his intention to post on his Facebook profile a message directed at the mayor of Strumica from SDSM, Kostadin Kostadinov. In a statement posted on August 26, 2026, at 9:20 am, Kostadinovski suggested that the current situation might be opportune for proposing a legal decrease in these salaries. He reiterated that with the potential return of functionary salaries to their previous levels, and given the context of the budget deliberations for the mayor of landowners, the expectation remains for tangible resolutions.
The comments underscore a political negotiation surrounding public sector compensation. Kostadinovski’s remarks suggest a strategic approach to managing municipal finances, linking the proposed salary adjustments to broader budgetary discussions involving local leadership. The focus remains on achieving a defined, workable agreement regarding the compensation structure.
