“On the occasion of the beginning of the holy month of Ramadan, I extend my sincere congratulations to all members of the Islamic faith. May the days of fasting, prayer, and spiritual devotion inspire us to nurture the highest human values – humanity, solidarity, mutual trust, and respect for diversity. At a time when the challenges we face are shared, it is precisely understanding, cooperation, and a helping hand that form the foundation on which we build stable coexistence and a common future.

May the month of mercy and forgiveness bring peace to homes, good health and prosperity, and strengthen the bonds among people, encouraging us to care more for one another.

In the spirit of the holiday, I wish you ease during the fast, good health, peace, and well-being in every home, with the assurance that the values brought by Ramadan will contribute to the continued building of a society based on equality, respect, and shared responsibility,” stated in his holiday message the Deputy Prime Minister of the Government of the Republic of North Macedonia and Minister at the Ministry for Inter-Community Relations, Mr. Ivan Stoilkovic.
