Gostivar Mayor and Secretary General of the Alliance for Albanians Arben Taravari does not intend to apologize to Prime Minister Zoran Zaev for the statement that he offered money to an MP to win her over the formation of a parliamentary majority.

Taravari claims he spoke the truth and that they both know what happened.

He knows I know too. If he has solved other problems and bigger issues, he might feel free to sue me, here I am. However, the time will come when this matter will be spoken about publicly. Since we are in a hybrid regime and I do not want to drag our MPs into an awkward situation, I will end this story and that topic here. It is clear what has been done, said Arben Taravari, Secretary General of the Alliance for Albanians.

Taravari: They walk around with suitcases of money offering it to MPs to join them, Zaev personally called one of our MP
