Sitel TV reports that Interior Minister Oliver Spasovski will be named interim Prime Minister, after Zoran Zaev steps down on January 3rd as part of the 100-days pre-election rule.

Spasovski, who is one of the most loyal lieutenants Zaev has in the Government, is supposed to step down with him anyway, as the Interior Ministry will be placed under an opposition VMRO-DPMNE party nominated official to ensure that it is no longer used for attacks on the opposition party.

The Spasovski led Government will be in place until the elections on April 12th.
