Economist forum in Athens - 2023

At the Economist forum in Athens, taking place amidst looming threats in various global hotspots, we sought to address several pressing questions. Is an end to the war in Ukraine in sight? How much more can the situation in Israel escalate, and how imminent is the potential for the entire Middle East to go up in flames? Might we see an escalation in the situation in the north of Kosovo?
The answer lies in the alignment of moderate and progressive forces worldwide. It's imperative that we expedite the arrival of these solutions and responses, aiming to strip the radicals and extreme populists of their initiative.
As leaders of nations, both past and present, we owe it to our citizens to resolve issues, preserve peace, and establish an environment conducive to growth and an improved quality of life for all. As advocates for freedom and democracy, we stand resolute in our commitment to uphold our values until we achieve a definitive victory.
Our common thread is our resistance to the totalitarian paradigm. The unity of democratic forces, namely the moderate and progressive factions, must prevail.

Korcula school - 2023

"When I say that the conflict in Ukraine is, at its core, a battle of values, I am emphasizing that it is a struggle that directly involves us. It is a clash between democracy and autocracy, an ideological warfare between freedom and oppression or totalitarianism, where the two opposing concepts determine the organization of societies as either democratic, open, and free or closed, captive, and dictatorial. In light of this, the free and democratic world cannot afford to remain a passive observer in this war, just as it cannot adopt a neutral stance when it comes to both the conventional conflict and the resilience of the Ukrainian people in their fight for their homeland."

Delphi economic forum in Athens - 2023

Delphi, Greece is considered to be the most famous oracle in mythology and the ancient world. There, citizens, merchants, military leaders, and authorities were given advice and predictions about their actions in the future.
Meanwhile today, the Economic Forum in Delphi serves as one of the most eminent economic-political meetings in Europe where current and former leaders from various social spheres come together to define trends for the economy’s future development.
I am honored that my collaboration with the Economic Forum in Delphi has developed into a permanent and fundamental relationship in that this year I was invited to contribute to the discussion within the field of energetics.
In my presentation, I focused on the importance of collaboration between the countries in the region, emphasizing the successful joint defeat over the past winter. I appealed for a reinforcement of cooperation between the countries of the Open Balkans with Greece and Bulgaria, in anticipation of the coming winter, which is expected to pose a similar challenge.

Solemn session on the occasion of the holiday „The Holy Fifteen Tiberiopolis priest-martyrs“ - 2022

As one of the devoted protectors and nurturers of my beloved city's tradition and centuries-old spiritual values, I attended the Strumica Municipality Council's Solemn Session on December 11 - the Day of the Protectors of Strumica - the Holy Fifteen Tiveriopol Priest-Martyrs. It was a pleasure to feel the solemn atmosphere in which the fifteen servants of God who spread Christianity in Tiveriopol (today's Strumica) and laid down their life in that name 1660 years ago were honored with appropriate contents.
On behalf of the "Zaev - One Society for All" Foundation, I congratulate the six winners of the Annual Awards of the Municipality of Strumica, as well as the winner of the Lifetime Achievement Award - the renowned international basketball player from Strumica, Vlado Ilievski.
"Tiberiopolis grew to be like a tower visible from everywhere, giving light to the faith and the other towns of the west, and bringing people who were in the deep sea of disbelief back from the darkness of error"
