VMRO-DPMNE leader Hristijan Mickoski says in an interview with MIA that coalition “Your Macedonia” will be the absolute winner at the May 8 parliamentary elections and will manage to consolidate 61 MPs while adding they prefer the ethnic Albanian opposition bloc as their coalition partner.
On a possible coalition with DUI, Mickoski says doors are never closed in politics but notes that the “Worth It” coalition would be given precedence.
“I believe that VMRO-DPMNE will be able to consolidate 61 MP seats after May 8. As a coalition ‘Your Macedonia’ will be the absolute winner. I cannot project the exact number now. Of course, we will invite a coalition partner due to the right of representation of smaller ethnic communities. Doors in politics are never closed but our priority is to enter into coalition with the ethnic Albanian opposition,” said Mickoski.
Regarding the alignment of certain policies with the ethnic Albanian opposition, such as the constitutional amendments, the VMRO-DPMNE leader says talks have still not taken place since the current focus in the presidential and parliamentary campaigns.
“We have a clear program “Platform 1198”, we have a clear reform agenda, a clear vision for Macedonia. This reform agenda includes all ethnic communities. We believe we have a product that brings development in Macedonia,” said Mickoski.
