Zaev, Ahmeti, Xhaferi to Discuss Options for Unblocking Parliament

PM Zoran Zaev announced that on Thursday he will hold meeting with Parliament Speaker Talat Xhaferi and DUI leader Ali Ahmeti in order to discuss options for unblocking the Parliament of Macedonia. “I hope that this blockade is of a temporary character, and that the main reason for it is the fact that some of the MPs are in isolation due to COVID-19. We have many options, including coordination in Parliament, or party leaders’ meeting, or even declaring a state of emergency. Institutions of the state must function properly, and for that we need to remove all obstructions in the Parliament,” Zaev said. In meantime, VMRO-DPMNE leader Hristijan Mickoski wrote on Facebook that he offers PS Xhaferi for VMRO-DPMNE MPs to secure the quorum necessary for a plenary session, but only for 4 points of the daily order, which was rejected by the Office of PS Xhaferi.
