Life

Dosta Dimovska was born on February 17, 1954 in Skopje. Her family came from Lazaropole . After attending school, she studied philosophy at the Philosophical Faculty of the University of Skopje and then worked there as a scientist and lecturer in Marxism-Leninism .

Dimovska began her political career in the early 1990s. She was one of the founding members of the Inner Macedonian Revolutionary Organization party - Democratic Party for Macedonian National Unity (VMRO-DPMNE). In 1991 she was elected Vice-President of VMRO-DPMNE at the party congress in Prilep . Between 1991 and 1994 she was a member of the Macedonian Parliament and during this time she was also the Chair of the Parliament's Committee on International Relations.

In December 1998 she was appointed by Prime Minister Ljubčo Georgievski to his cabinet and initially served as Deputy Prime Minister until December 1999. As part of a cabinet reshuffle, she became Minister of the Interior on December 27, 1999 , while the later Macedonian Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski became Minister of Finance. After another government reshuffle, she was reappointed Deputy Prime Minister in Georgievski's cabinet on May 13, 2001, to which she was a member until February 2002. In 2001 she withdrew from the party offices of the VMRO-DPMNE as vice-chairman because of internal party disagreements.

On February 25, 2002, Dimovska was appointed director of the Macedonian intelligence service (maz. Агенцијата за разузнавање) by the Macedonian President Boris Trajkovski . She resigned from this office on May 5, 2003 because of a disagreement with Trajkovski. In 2004 she founded her own party, the Democratic Republican Party of Macedonia (maz. Демократско-републиканска партија на Македонија).

In the next few years she lived in the Bulgarian capital Sofia and took Bulgarian citizenship in addition to Macedonian citizenship. This led to criticism in some Macedonian media in connection with her appointment as director of the Macedonian Culture and Information Center in Sofia in spring 2007. In the same year she was involved in a spy scandal in Macedonia. The Macedonian newspaper Dnevnik accused Dimovska of having handed over a list of Macedonian agents in Bulgaria to the Bulgarian authorities. However, these allegations were refuted by Dimovska and the Macedonian intelligence service.

Dosta Dimovska suffered a stroke in 2010 from which she did not recover and died in April 2011 in the Tokuda Clinic in Sofia.
