While other political parties are discussing their future coalitions, SDSM leader Zoran Zaev said that he will take a few days of vacation, and will only begin to discuss a new coalition after Ilinden (August 2).

A similar statement was given earlier by VMRO-DPMNE. The two parties are essentially tied in Parliament and neither has a clear and easy shot at forming a Government.
