Party leaders agreed over the postponement of the April 12 parliamentary elections at a meeting hosted by President Stevo Pendarovski on Tuesday.
People’s health is a priority in the current situation with the coronavirus, said the leaders.
The meeting was attended by SDSM leader Zoran Zaev, VMRO-DPMNE’s Hristijan Mickoski, Zijadin Sela-Alliance for Albanians, Afrim Gashi-Alternativa, Bilal Kasami-Besa, as well as party officials Bujar Osmani and Izet Mexhiti of DUI, and Orhan Ibraimi and Frimzim Dauti of DPA. Parliament Speaker Talat Xhaferi and Prime Minister Oliver Spasovski also took part.
Zaev said they had given the right to the head of state, with the help of an expert team, to find a solution for postponing the elections and schedule a new election date.
