Two sitting members of North Macedonia’s parliament have declared assets worth more than one million euros. The figures come from an analysis of published asset declarations and information from the State Commission for the Prevention of Corruption, while several other MPs are close to that threshold.

Ismail Jahoski leads the list by a wide margin, with declared assets totaling at least 2.287 million euros. The amount could be even higher, as the value of several real estate holdings was not specified in his declaration, reports Pa Censurë.
According to the SKUP Center for Investigative Journalism, the largest part of Jahoski’s calculated wealth consists of claims from loans issued, rental income, loan repayments and personal deposits. All the assets were declared in his name.
Menduh Thaçi ranks second, with declared assets of 1.23 million euros. Apart from Jahoski, he is the only MP whose publicly summarized declared assets exceed one million euros.
With approximately 850,000 euros in calculated assets, SDSM leader Venko Filipçe ranks third. According to SKUP, the value stands at 850,659 euros, although this figure may not be final, since no amount was indicated for some declared securities, reports Pa Censurë.
Filipçe has declared six apartments in Skopje, a vehicle owned by his wife, an “Indian Pursuit” motorcycle and securities.
He is followed by VMRO-DPMNE MP Gjorgjia Sajkoski, with declared assets worth 802,601 euros. In the fifth electoral district, he is well ahead of the other MPs from his coalition: Olga Lozanovska has declared 387,782 euros, while Kire Bozhinovski has declared 352,195 euros.
Former Prime Minister Dimitar Kovaçevski is also among the MPs with the greatest wealth. The latest complete, summarized and publicly disclosed value from his declaration is 645,945 euros. Meanwhile, the composition of his assets has changed.
In the declaration he submitted as an MP in 2024, Kovaçevski listed four apartments and a house. The total declared value of the real estate is 365,000 euros, while one of the apartments is owned by his wife. He declared that he had sold a larger apartment and a car, received dividends, and later purchased two smaller apartments and a vacation villa.
Goran Misovski follows Kovaçevski with 596,940 euros in declared assets. LDP leader and MP Monika Zajkova has declared assets worth approximately 582,000 euros.
The top 10 also includes Halil Snopçe with 550,000 euros, followed by Ilir Hasani with 451,538 euros and Bejxhan Iljas with 430,000 euros.
They are followed by Ilir Demiri with 406,497 euros, Fatmir Bitiqi with 400,980 euros, Olga Lozanovska with 387,782 euros and Petar Risteski with 376,406 euros.
These figures do not necessarily represent the MPs’ net worth. The declarations include the assets of the officeholder and their family members, while the value of some real estate, holdings, securities or bank assets was not declared. MPs also report loans and other liabilities, which are not deducted from the assets in these simple calculations.
Another difficulty in creating a complete ranking is linked to changes in the composition of parliament following the local elections. The new MPs include Aleksandra Nikolovska, Martin Stojanovski, Mito Andonov and Zeqirja Tairi. In Stojanovski’s case, the State Commission for the Prevention of Corruption imposed a 300-euro fine on July 29, 2026, after he failed to submit his asset declaration within the legal deadline following his election as an MP, reports .
For this reason, the ranking reflects only those sitting MPs for whom the highest asset value can currently be confirmed and calculated on the basis of published data. It should not be viewed as a definitive determination of who is the wealthiest MP in parliament.
The State Commission for the Prevention of Corruption explains that the new electronic system automatically publishes the declarations of current elected and appointed officials. The commission can also verify the accuracy of the data through the Cadastre, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Central Depository, the Public Revenue Office, the Central Registry, banks and other financial institutions.
