Ljubčo Georgievski (Macedonian: Љубчо Георгиевски) born 17 January 1966, in Štip, SR Macedonia, then Yugoslavia) was the 3rd Prime Minister of the Republic of Macedonia and one of the founders or pioneers of independent Macedonia. He founded the Internal Macedonian Revolutionary Organization - Democratic Party for Macedonian National Unity and was the first party president from 1990 to 2003. Nevertheless, accused of being pro-Bulgarian politician (a stigma in Macedonia), Georgievski broke off with the party he founded, established the bulgarophile VMRO-NP, and gained later Bulgarian citizenship.
In his twenties he began to spread his pro-Macedonian independence, anti-Yugoslav and anti-communist politics among Macedonians. He first entered in the Movement for All-Macedonian Action and participated on the founding meeting of the party where he stated that MAAK has to be a movement for a confederation. In the circles of the party he met with Boris Zmejkovski and Dragan Bogdanovski. After he left the party he intended to create a new political movement.
Dragan Bogdanovski who was a proclaimed Macedonian rights movement activist had made a blueprint for a Democratic Party for Macedonian National Unity. He had also made a statute, book of rules, and an instruction of how the party is going to work. Georgievski together with Bogdanovski, Zmejkovski and few others activists had agreed to make a party for independent Macedonia. The Internal Macedonian Revolutionary Organization – Democratic Party for Macedonian National Unity was founded on 17 June 1990 and was the only political party in SR Macedonia that spoke for independence. On the first multi-party elections in 1990 Georgievski with his party had won the biggest amount of seats in the Macedonian Assembly. Refusing to make a coalition with the ethnic Albanian parties Georgievski had failed to make government and a non-partisan government came to power.
