Zoran Zaev is convinced that they will defeat the independent candidate for mayor in Kumanovo, Maksim Dimitrievski, who was expelled from SDSM.

"SDSM will win Maksim Dimitrievski in Kumanovo.

"I really do not know where this question comes from if we will leave the race in Kumanovo", said Zaev, answering questions from journalists.

Earlier, Dimitrievski said he had told Zaev he would run independently before making it public.

Otherwise, in the first round for mayor, Maksim Dimitrievski won with a slight difference against the SDSM candidate, Oliver Ilieski./Telegrafi/
