North Macedonia NGOs demand removal of agency head over war criminal praise

Eight civil society organizations in North Macedonia have formally requested the government to remove Dalibor Kitanović, head of the Agency for Realization, citing his praise for convicted war criminal Ratko Mladić and the Chetnik movement. The request signals domestic political pressure over nationalist rhetoric, though the government's response is uncertain. This is a domestic governance issue with potential implications for regional stability in the Western Balkans.
