Prime Minister Zoran Zaev. Many party officials now face trials in corruption and criminal cases, including Gruevski, his cousin and ex-intelligence chief Saso Mijalkov as well as former transport and interior ministers Mile Janakieski and Gordana Jankulovska. Both Janakieski and Kiril Bozinovski, former secretary general of VMRO- DPMNE party, were put in 30-day detention on November 14 on the request of prosecutors who feared they might also flee the country.
Gruevski's escape came at a delicate time for Macedonia when the country is in the process of making constitutional changes related to the name deal with Greece, which is crucial for the
country to become a Nato member and launch EU accession talks. According to the deal, the country will be renamed North Macedonia.
VMRO-DPMNE is against the deal and the constitutional changes, but eight MPs from its coalition backed the government in a critical recent vote on initiating constitutional amendments.
As well as implementing the name deal, the Macedonian authorities are also supposed to be undertaking reforms in the judicial system and stepping up the fight against crime and corruption, as required by the EU.
