During commemorations marking the two Ilinden events at the Assembly of the SFRY in Peliste, Hristo Miskoiski delivered a significant address. The speech, given on the occasion of August 2—the date of the Republic—focused heavily on the historical significance of the Ilinden Uprising and the First Assembly of the Assembly of the SFRY in Peliste. Miskoiski framed these two historical moments as interconnected chapters within a single national timeline.
While detailing the historical parallels, the Miskoiski also extended his remarks to address contemporary political dynamics and the current relationship with the opposition. A central theme of his address was the reinterpretation of the concept of Ilinden. He presented it not merely as a date, but as a foundational motto and defining characteristic of the people.
According to Miskoiski, this spirit embodies the resilience of a nation—one that, despite facing occupation, attack, betrayal, or conquest, remains unconquered. The speaker emphasized that both the Krushevska Republic and the Assembly of the SFRY represented the collective will of the people and the Yugoslav Socialist Republic. Ultimately, the speech served as a call for national unification, drawing a direct symbolic link between the historical struggle commemorated during the Ilinden events and the present political landscape.
