SDSM members of Parliament and their coalition allies will likely walk out of the building on Thursday, if it looks that the opposition parties have the necessary 61 votes to bring down the Zaev Government.

This could help SDSM delay the session, if the opposition representatives are not fully assembled from the start. The VMRO-DPMNE led opposition bloc announced over the weekend that it has 61 votes, but one representative since declared that he may change his mind. Opposition officials say they are in talks with numerous other members of Parliament from the ruling coalition, which includes a dozen smaller parties.
