VMRO-DPMNE will celebrate the party’s birthday on June 17 at the stadium in Strumica before talks for government reshuffle start, Macedonian Prime Minister Hristijan Mickoski said Sunday responding to a reporter’s question after opening a new nursing home in Skopje’s Ilinden municipality. On possible snap elections, he said his party VMRO-DPMNE wants regular elections but if it is challenged, it will run in snap elections and it will win.
“Next week after the birthday, which will be on June 17 in Strumica starting at 8 p.m. at the city stadium, after that we will begin talks with the government coalition partners on the government reshuffle,” Mickoski told reporters.
Commenting on the claims of the opposition SDSM that the Government is going to elections because it has spent state money and that they will not be an alibi for snap elections, Prime Minister Mickoski says that the one and the other do not make sense.
Mickoski stresses that their position is that there should be no early elections, that they received a mandate from the citizens for four years and want to go to regular parliamentary elections that will take place in the spring of 2028, but if they are challenged, they must be prepared, like any serious political option.
