VMRO-DPMNE is preparing to initiate a vote of no confidence in the Zaev Government and that a Government of national unity is formed, said the deputy leader of the opposition party Aleksandar Nikoloski in a TV interview.

Zaev refuses to resign even after suffering defeats in all his initiatives, in the handling of the coronavirus epidemic, in the economy and in the European integration. We called on him to resign but unfortunately he hasn’t done so and that is why we are initiating a vote of no confidence. A Government of national unity, supported by all parties in Parliament, made up of the best minds we have in the country is the only way out of this triple crisis. Once out of the crisis, we can hold early general elections to elect a political Government, Nikoloski said.

Zaev has only 62 seats in the 120 seat Parliament and depends on one larger and many smaller coalition parties, some of whom have voiced objections over his handling of the dispute with Bulgaria.
