VMRO-DPMNE presidential candidate Gordana Siljanovska-Davkova, after casting her vote at the Kole Nedelkovski primary school, stated that in these elections we should prove the European reform capacity expressing hope that the transition period will end and democratic transition will begin.

These are special elections, not because I am a candidate and not because for the first time a woman has a chance to be president of Macedonia, but because of the condition. We need to prove the European reform, democratic capacity by fair and democratic elections. It is not very common in the twenty-first century, but I hope that we will finally come out of the transitional maze and that we will enter the democratic transition. I tried to color the campaign in the manner of a woman, with knowledge, with commitment, with arguments. To prove that we women have special qualities and a special way of managing problems. I think it was a successful campaign. I expect to enter the second round, if I happen to not enter, I will vote for Mr. Reka for his expertise, competence and civic orientation, she said.
