Based on the confidence it was given by the citizens, the Coalition for renewal of Macedonia is working to form a new majority in Parliament, said VMRO-DPMNE President Hristijan Mickoski after his meeting with German Ambassador Anke Holstein.

During the meeting, Mickoski said that the elections held on July 15 can’t be considered fair and democratic, given the numerous violations, the bribery of voters and irregularities that occurred. He pointed to the criticism from the OSCE/ODIHR monitoring mission as proof of the “seriously undermined democratic basis of the elections”. VMRO-DPMNE and SDSM came out practically tied from the elections, with none of the two main parties having a clear shot at forming a Government.

The SDSM led Government would not able to deliver results that would be recognized by our strategic partners in the European Union, Mickoski told Ambassador Holstein, adding that what Macedonia needs is serious work toward meeting the European agenda and progressing toward EU membership.
