The minister of Energy in the cabinet of Hristiyan Mitkoski, Sanya Božinovska, who became famous in our country thanks to her Bulgarian citizenship, is the richest minister in the government of North Macedonia. It is clear from her property declaration that Božinovska owns properties worth over 1 million euros.

"She owns two apartments in the center of Skopje - one of 87 sq.m. and the other 60 sq.m. The two cost a total of 140,000 euros", reports the Macedonian weekly "Focus". Bulgarian citizen Sanya Bozhinovska has four apartments abroad.

Two in Spain, one in Portugal and one in Serbia. Apartments in Spain cost 560,000 euros in total, and in Portugal 162,000 euros, which is approximately the same as that in Serbia - 157,476 euros. In the declaration, the minister closest to Mickoski reports that there are bank sums from savings and salaries, both in North Macedonia and in the Czech Republic.

For Portugal and Spain, Božinovska writes that there is only real estate, but nowhere does she state the amounts. She also owns a company in the Czech Republic. Both Bozinovska herself and her parents and brother are also Bulgarian citizens.

The owner of the company “RUDNAP GROUP“ Voin Lazarević, in which Hristiyan Mitskoski's close friend Sanya Božinovska is the manager, has an extremely controversial reputation and his name rose from the so-called “Panama files“.

Voin Lazarevic is one of the biggest businessmen in the field of energy, not only in Serbia, but also in the countries of the Western Balkans. He bought electricity from Bulgaria and also had a business in Russia, which was connected to a bank created to circumvent the sanctions imposed on the rest of Yugoslavia by the late dictator Slobodan Milosevic, writes BGNES.

According to Lazarevic's official biography, he started his career in his father's law firm, and in 1989 he started his own business, founding PIMA Kotor in 1989 and PIMA Belgrade in 1994.

In 1998 he was a minister without portfolio in the government of Montenegro, and in 1998 - 2000 he was an adviser to the Prime Minister of Montenegro Filip Vujanović. Since 2000, he has been a co-owner of EFT Ltd., Great Britain. In 2003, he privatized the company “RUDNAP”, and after leaving EFT Group in 2005, he headed his own company “RUDNAP GROUP”.
