“The reason for this lies in the fact that the media in Macedonia made too much fuss over my appointment. The only politician in Macedonia who gave me a chance is Prime Minister Zoran Zaev and he only who earned my respect. I do not want Macedonia to be affected by this on its path to EU and NATO. If they thought I care about that money, they were wrong. I giving them back, I do not need them,” said Shaqiri.

Shaqiri was hired with one-year temporary contract for a monthly salary of MKD 36.000.
