SDSM leader Dimitar Kovacevski is hopeful that his party’s presidential candidate will be supported by coalition partners. However, on Monday, he declined to say specifically whether the plan for a consensual candidate with DUI had failed.
SDSM’s candidate’s name will be known at the end of February. When it comes to VMRO-DPMNE, the final preparations are underway.
The public call for potential candidates ends on Wednesday. On 2 March, 500 delegates will make the final decision at the convention.
