On the occasion of the holiday of Christmas, which commemorates the birth of Jesus Christ and carries the message of love, hope, and humanity, on behalf of the Ministry for Inter-Community Relations and in my personal capacity, I extend sincere congratulations to all believers of the Christian faith. May this bright holiday be an inspiration for spiritual serenity, mutual respect, and the strengthening of social cohesion.

May the Christmas holidays contribute to the deepening of family and social values, the nurturing of solidarity, and the advancement of mutual understanding. In the spirit of the holiday, I wish that these days be filled with stability, personal and family well-being, and confidence that through cooperation and responsibility we can contribute to progress and the common good.

I wish all believers good health, peace, and a dignified celebration of Christmas.

Christ is born! Truly He is born! May Christmas be happy and blessed, said the Deputy Prime Minister of the Government of the Republic of North Macedonia and Minister for Inter-Community Relations, Mr. Ivan Stoilkovic.
