In 1996, he was promoted as a candidate for the position of a president of the Student Union of the University of Ss. Cyril and Methodius in Skopje, but because of publicly stating that he is a member of a political party VMRO-DPMNE he was not allowed to run.

During his college years, he participated in the student demonstrations of 1997 against the law passed by the Macedonian Government regarding the Pedagogy Faculty.

Because of his activities, the Macedonian Ministry of Interior opened a political file on him, codename MARTA, in which he was defined as dangerous for the constitutional order of the Republic of Macedonia] His file was closed after he became a member of the Macedonian Parliament.

His file was published in full in the daily newspaper Makedonija Denes, in nine parts in 2000. That was a proof of misuse of the security services of the state for the interests of SDSM and their fight against all who held different opinions from theirs.

A black dot in his political life was that he caused a fight in one of New York’s bar while he was acting as a Consul of North Macedonia. He was drunk at the time.
