North Macedonia has appointed Nenad Saveski as the country’s new Chief Public Prosecutor, with the incoming official pledging to end selective justice and prioritise accountability within the system.

Saveski is set to officially begin his mandate today after delivering a formal statement before Parliament Speaker Afrim Gashi. He becomes the ninth Chief Prosecutor since the country’s independence in 1991.

He was elected in parliament with 66 votes in favour, following the resignation of his predecessor Ljupço Kocevski. His mandate will last six years, with the possibility of reappointment.

In a pre-appointment interview with AIM, Saveski stressed that he would not apply selective justice, stating that all cases must be treated equally and that no files would be left unresolved.

He outlined key priorities including the digitalisation of the prosecution system, along with greater transparency and institutional accountability.

Saveski also highlighted the need to improve working conditions, warning that a weak institution cannot effectively confront organised crime and powerful actors.
