Mickoski Leaves Leaders’ Meeting; Possible Referendum Question Presented

‘Are you in favour of EU and NATO membership by accepting the Agreement between the Republic of Macedonia and the Republic of Greece’ is the possible referendum question as stated by PM Zoran Zaev following the leaders meeting held in the MPs Club.At the meeting which lasted for more than four hours the leaders of parliamentary parties with more than one MP in parliament were invited, but one hour after the kick-off VMRO-DPMNE leader Hristijan Mickoski walked out of it, voicing discontentment with the actions of the ruling majority. Mickoski asked that the leaders meeting is in the format of representatives by the four biggest parliamentary parties so as they could discuss all issues that precede the SEC composition. The PM said new leaders meeting is slated for Thursday at 12:00 p.m. where ‘Mickoski can state whether he is in favour of NATO and EU’, adding the citizens will have the final say. He noted the referendum will be consultative and the will of the majority of citizens will be final.
