When Macedonia faced insurgency in 2001, and while Zoran Jolevski was Secretary General of the President, Macedonia faced a number of political challenges. During this period, for example, there were several attempts to assassinate the President and his closest team, which was led by Jolevski. The Macedonian Government worked with the government of the United States and the EU on the Ohrid Framework Agreement, which brought peace in the Balkans; Zoran Jolevski was member of the negotiation team and he was the representative of President Trajkovski to the session of the Assembly of the Republic of Macedonia for the constitutional changes required by the Ohrid Framework Agreement.
