Brussels – Meanwhile, in this period of political crisis, the president of the European Council, Donald Tusk comes today to Skopje for a visit. He would only meet with the country’s President George Ivanov.

The parliament of Macedonia continues to debate on the election of the speaker and pave the way into forming the Government. Parliamentary parties have debated on this issue for five days, but apart from wasting time they have not managed to come up with a solution.

VMRO-DPMNE of Nikola Gruevski is causing delays in parliamentary proceedings since 51 of its members are arguing with each other to waste time.

During the weekend, VMRO-DPMNE has called for new parliamentary elections, because according to them, this composition that emerged from the elections in December last year turned out dysfunctional. VMRO-DPMNE is also against the government formation between SDSM (Social Democratic Union) and the Albanian parties, since, according to them, the coalition endangers the future of the country, through the platform of the Albanian parties, which leadsMacedonia towards federalism. But, SDSM representatives have stated that they will form the new government which aims the reforms and also said that Gruevski must learn to go into opposition.

Meanwhile, in this period of political crisis, the president of the European Council, Donald Tusk comes today to Skopje for a visit. He would only meet with the country’s President George Ivanov.
