At Friday’s press conference, Prime Minister Zoran Zaev called for a leaders’ meeting to discuss and reach an agreement on key issues facing the country before the decision to start EU accession negotiations.

Zaev called on VMRO-DPMNE leader, Hristijan Mickoski, DUI leader Ali Ahmeti and Alliance for Albanians leader, Zijadin Sela for a leaders’ meeting.

He cited the Election Code, the Law on the Public Prosecutor’s Office and the Census as the priority topics at the leaders’ meeting. The honest commitment to these topics, he said, will round off the reforms by autumn.

We will not give anyone an argument to be against, reserved or the like, said Zaev.

Asked whether he is ready to call early elections, Zaev said that his party’s position is to hold regular elections, and now it’s time to give the economy a chance.

Regarding the relations with DUI, Zaev said they are great.
