The prime minister is the head of the cabinet and is usually the leader of a political coalition in parliament.

The current prime minister is Hristijan Mickoski, who has been in office since 23 June 2024.

## History

[edit]

As per the Pržino Agreement, the incumbent prime minister resigns in favour of a technical one (one with more limited powers than the prime minister chosen from the start of the mandate), 100 days before the new parliamentary elections.[2] Emil Dimitriev, Oliver Spasovski and Talat Xhaferi were technical prime ministers.
