The leader of opposition Social Democratic Union of Macedonia (SDSM) Branko Crvenkovski announced that his party would participate in the upcoming elections.
“Nikola Gruevski (The Prime Minister) does not wish for a fair and democratic elections to take place. He wants no opposition at the elections, but we will not let him have it all his way,” Crvenkovski said. He also noted that from this day his party had no more demands from the government, but would not, however, return to Parliament.
