The Macedonian diaspora has by and large ignored the calls by Zaev’s junta to register for a census that many see as utter fabrication by the SDSM leadership.
Despite numbering in the hundreds of thousands in US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, the SDSM announced that roughly 120,000 have registered online, with the majority being in Switzerland and Germany.
The application itself whether on purpose or not, in the first week had multitude of flaws: it accepted any ID, including all zeros, which means that just about anyone could register and register as many times as they wanted.
Furthermore, Macedonians locally will boycott the census in a similar manner when boycotting the referendum few years ago.
