Skopje opposition leader to push for snap general elections

Leader of Macedonian oppositional party Social Democratic Union of Macedonia (SDSM), Branko Crvenkovski, will ask for calling snap parliamentary elections in Macedonia no matter what the results of the March 24 local elections.

“If we are united, if we stay firm and if we are decided to bring things to the end, me personally, I will not wait to see the results of the March 24 elections – I will rather go out and call for early parliamentary elections,” Crvenkovski said.

Under the agreement on overcoming the political crisis in Macedonia, the country will call early parliamentary elections in case the opposition wins the local elections.
