The Democratic Union for Integration (DUI) MPs will not support VMRO-DPMNE’s nominees for ministers in the caretaker government, DUI sources revealed on Saturday.
DUI’s decision comes after VMRO-DPMNE leader Hristijan Mickoski’s statement that Talat Xhaferi does not deserve VMRO-DPMNE’s support for caretaker prime minister and in the interest of the democratic process the party would refrain from voting.
Macedonian Prime Minister and SDSM leader Dimitar Kovachevski told reporters on Friday the ministerial posts that belong by law to the opposition in the caretaker government should remain vacant until VMRO-DPMNE votes in favor of that government.
He called on the nominee for caretaker PM Talat Xhaferi to form a government in which the posts of the ministers and additional deputy-ministers will remain vacant until VMRO-DPMNE decides to support the caretaker government.
