Even Zaevi preys to Russian humorists, admits he had given them Haradinaj's number

Northern Macedonia Prime Minister Zoran Zaev held a press conference at noon after hearing his allegedly published talks with former Ukrainian President Petro Porosenko and Jens Stoltenberg of NATO last night.

It's Russian comedians Vovan (Alexei Stolyarov) of Lexusov (Vladimir Kuznetsov), who by appearing with false identity of top political figures, speak for an hour with Zaev.

Audio recordings were made in August 2018 and January 2019, and humorists published on their YouTube channel. Conversations are on several topics: The situation in Macedonia ahead of the name referendum, relations between Serbia and Kosovo, the Russian influence in the country and the KOM autoceal, for which the fake Porosenko convinces Zaev that he can win if 100,000 euros are paid to Patriarch Bartholomew. It was for this part that Zaevi said was mounted and nonautic, even though it did not explain the context.

You know, we're just like I feel. Personally, by means of my family, personal enterprise, or family, I have helped very often with serious sums of money, material, in most cases of bricks. When such a conversation happens, you tell them that you have no problem helping somewhere if it should be helped”, Zaevi stressed, Alsat-M reports.

He claims diplomatic protocols have been respected, but also reminded that contracting talks with nearby countries directly address cabinets. But it is not uncommon for officials to communicate directly too. During direct communication, Zaev's advisers take notes.

I remember that I don't have it for the first time, I've talked to Stoltenberg, with Porosenko, with the other leaders of the partner countries of the RMV, and communication connected to one of the conversations is through the fixed network. While I'm at work... I'm at work, wanted by President Poroshenko to establish contact with me, give the term between meetings, when I even talk. Next to me in most cases stands an employee, this is Dane Talevski or Bojan Maricchi, or a part of other advisers who are carrying the procession, initially the procedure to be placed in the state archive, but also to announce the media”, Zoran Zaevi said.

The reactions of Poroshenko and the real Stoltenberg so far have not reached the Government's address. Zaev said if he needed an apology.

His position is that the recorded conversations are not ordered by someone from Macedonia, but that he is personally the target of political discreditment, and that is an attempt to undermine strategic interests for NATO membership.

During his media conference, Zaevi, according to the republic.mk, has indicated that he had given the Russian humorists the number of Kosovo Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj's telephone number.

He has said that the “is natural for opening up regional leaders' telephone numbers” to Russian comedians.

Zaevi, besides Haradinaj's number, had also given them the telephone number of the then US Secretary of State, Wes Mitchell.

It's natural to give the number of any Southeast European official to someone I truly believed to be the president of Ukraine. This isn't a state secret, and of course I'm sorry I was abused in this form, but at the same time, I don't think the conversation has discovered any state secret. There have been attitudes I have repeated every day around us here, in the Balkans, for EU integration”, Zaevi said in front of the media.

In question, Zaev has discovered a false “Poroskon” position of European leaders such as Angela Merkel towards the Balkans, especially in terms of the idea of territorial exchange between Kosovo and Serbia. /Koha.net
