Skopje, 17 January 2023 (MIA) — DUI leader Ali Ahmeti said Tuesday that the majority in Parliament in support of the country’s EU path would grow by Alliance of Albanians’ joining the ruling coalition.

“The parliamentary majority is stable, but there is a broader and more promising approach, which means expanding that majority and creating an alliance for Europe,” Ahmeti said.

Asked about the stability of the parliamentary majority considering DUI’s “Fire Group” of members criticizing their own party and DUI MPs, Ahmeti said that talks with the AA had “nothing to do with the Fire Group.”

On Monday evening, AA leader Arben Taravari said in a TV21 appearance that his party may join the ruling coalition but if it did not, a snap election should be held.

Taravari pointed out that according to the international community, however, the country should not hold elections but instead adopt the necessary constitutional changes to make progress on its EU membership path.

“There is a possibility for us to enter the government. There is no specific offer, but we are in constant communication. You see what’s happening in Parliament. I think we are 60-60. Parliament cannot achieve a majority without the help of the Alliance.

“If we don’t join the government, then we go to the polls. There is no other solution. However, constitutional amendments are a priority for us. This is why we are prepared to become part of the government and help the process,” Taravari said. mr/
