The Macedonian President Gjorge Ivanov at a news conference in Brussels after the leadership summit dedicated to the refugee crisis, spoke in Macedonian, and his adviser Ivica Bocevski, translated what he said, into English.

President Ivanov called upon Bocevski to come and translate for him, and left the stage before Bocevski finished with the translation, this brought on laughter from the Parliamentary Press Gallery, but the joke continued with a series of humorous and ironic comments on social networks.

At a briefing for journalists, Georgi Ivanov said that until he is the President, he will talk in Macedonian and that as the President of Macedonia, he wants to preserve our language.
