President of the Government and leader of VMRO-DPMNE, Hristijan Mickoski, has detailed the ministerial portfolios slated for the upcoming government restructuring. Mickoski announced that the specific names of the new ministers would be published later that evening. During the process of this governmental reshuffle, Mickoski specified the gains for the major political factions.
VMRO-DPMNE is set to receive two new ministries: Health and Social Policy, and Demography and Youth. Additionally, the party is slated to gain oversight of Culture, Justice, and the Ministry of Interethnic Relations. Meanwhile, the ZNAM party is scheduled to take over the Ministry of Agriculture and will also be allocated the position of a Deputy Minister.
Mickoski indicated that he had deliberately chosen not to disclose these personnel decisions during the session of the Executive Committee. In related comments, the Prime Minister also addressed the structure of the government, stating in an interview with TV Telma’s Direktno program that the government structure would not include a Deputy Prime Minister responsible for governing. The announcement regarding the distribution of these key portfolios marks a significant development in the political landscape.
The details of the reshuffle were formally announced on June 30, 2026. The changes outline a clear reallocation of governmental responsibilities among the participating parties following the political reorganization.
