The President of the Republic of Macedonia has not been officially informed over the resignation of the Prime Minister, which entails the resignation of the entire Government. Once informed, the President will present the government mandate, upon prior consultations, to the party or parties having majority in the Parliament within the 10-day constitutional deadline. The President, as before, in his actions will be guided by the established interpretation of the constitutional norm in practice in the past three decades, Pendarovski’s Office informed.
According to Article 219 of the Rules of Procedure of the Parliament, “The Government, the Prime Minister or a member of the Government may resign. The resignation of the Government or the Prime Minister shall be submitted to the Parliament Speaker in writing and may be explained… The resignation of the Government or the Prime Minister shall be immediately submitted by the Parliament Speaker to the Members of Parliament and the country’s President.”
Article 220 further states that “The Parliament at the first next session, without debate, concludes that the mandate of the Prime Minister, the Government or a member of the Government, terminates on the day of the session.”
The Parliament informed that so far it has not received the resignation of Prime Minister Zoran Zaev. At today’s coordination meeting with Xhaferi, there was no discussion at all about the next steps that would follow after last night’s statement by Zaev that he is resigning from his position as Prime Minister.
