		Kostov announced his resignation on November 15, 2004, following disputes within the coalition government, particularly between ethnic Macedonian Slav and ethnic Albanian ministers.

		Hari Kostov (born November 13, 1959) is the prime minister of Macedonia.

		Specifically, Kostov said "one of the coalition partners" understands its role in the government to center exclusively on the implementation of the 2001 Ohrid peace agreement, and is demanding that "one of the ethnic communities" be proportionally represented in the state administration.
		According to Kostov, the BDI has refused in the cabinet sessions to approve a number of draft laws regarding privatization of state property and budgeting, demanding that the Finance Ministry change its employment rules to allow the employment of 15 new officials.
		Whoever is chosen as Kostov's successor, he or she will need both the backing of a political party and the support of the other coalition partners to revive the political process and to carry out the necessary economic reforms.

		The way Hari Kostov has been misused by the current government is symptomatic of the greater tragedy affecting the state: managerial misplacements and incompetents elevated well beyond their rightful ranks.
		Instead, Kostov was given one of the most difficult and sensitive posts on offer — that of interior minister — and was thus in effect forced to deal with the constant headaches posed by the various Albanian “liberation” factions that have come and gone over the past two years.
		Of course, Macedonia being a protectorate, Kostov was put on notice by the West to not deal with them too strongly; however, all in all, he did do a good job of keeping an often volatile situation under control.

		Kostov had become frustrated with the BDI's behaviour in government and his inability to hold ministers to account against obstruction from the SDSM and BDI party machines.
		Kostov's resignation brought to the fore the issue of the SDSM eadership, now to be resolved in a party congress later this month.
		Kostov was particularly critical of a key BDI appointee, Transport Minister Agron Buxhaku, whose resignation he had demanded on several occasions.

		Macedonia's prime minister, Hari Kostov, has thrown down the gauntlet to the ethnic-Albanian junior coalition member, the DUI, accusing it of blocking economic reforms through self-interest.
		Kostov charged that there is no will in the coalition for genuine teamwork aimed at crucial goals, as one junior partner has viewed the government as an instrument for promotion of its particular interests, including nepotism.
		In submitting his resignation, Kostov accused the DUI of blocking two key elements of economic reform legislation, one on privatization and the other on the budget, because the party made its support conditional on 15 new civil service jobs for ethnic Albanians.
