Therefore I submitted by irreversible resignation from the Interior Ministry. I was among the three top students at the faculty, averaged 9.57 out of 10 and top of the class for 2015, decorated by the Interior Minister. I dedicated my life to provide and advance the security of this sacred piece of land and this people, but unfortunately I no longer recognize it, Zitosanski writes in his remarks.

He says that he intends to leave the country so he can leave freely, as a Macedonian.
