Derkovski cannot remember whether he followed Jankieski’s instructions at elections

-

I have participated in elections since 1994 and have always cooperated with the institutions, Janakieski can give directions, but whether I did what he said is another issue, I really do not remember, said Derkovski for Makfax following today’s hearing of the Titanic case. The courtroom heard the voice of the incumbent director of the State Election Commission in one of the bombs.

In the recorded conversation one can hear how former Minister of Transport and Communications Mile Janakieski gives instructions to Derkovski, regarding specific activities on election day. At the time Oliver Derkovski was director of MZ “Transport”

Two days before the 2011 elections, Derkovski received instructions from the former Minister of Transport and now accused, Mile Janakieski to put up posters for spoof party SDPM in order to confuse SDSM voters. The spoof party submitted lists of names similar to the names of SDSM candidates in every election to confuse voters, such as Rada Sekerova, Zoran Zasev, Igor Ivanovski and Yannis Macris.
