Both sides say that no progress has been made, agree only that “the SPO is dead”

The meeting of the leaders of VMRO-DPMNE and SDSM is currently on a break. Both sides say that no progress has been made.

The only mutually agreed point is that the Special Prosecutor’s Office is finished, it’s dead, a VMRO-DPMNE source briefed. A source from the ruling SDSM party also said that “there is no progress on any of the items”.

The meeting between Hristijan Mickoski and Zoran Zaev was called as an attempt to find a way forward from the major political crisis sparked by the downfall of Special Prosecutor Katica Janeva and her corruption scandal.
