Kovachevski: Government is stable, no need for grand coalition
Skopje, 7 October 2022 (MIA) – The Government is stable and the parliamentary majority ensures its continued functioning despite events in DUI, which is their intraparty affair, says Prime Minister Dimitar Kovachevski. PM Kovachevski told TV21 he has not talked with Alliance of Albanians leader Arben Taravari over the party’s participation in the Government but says any support to the country’s European path and measures for management of the economic and energy crisis is welcome. “I said in my recent Parliament address that now is a time when we have to unite around the country’s strategic goals – continuation on the path to full-fledged EU membership – but also proper management of the energy and economic crisis. I haven’t met with Mr.Taravari but communication with AA lawmakers has always been there,” says Kovachevski. He says there is no need for a grand coalition including VMRO-DPMNE, like in 2001, because the country is not in a political or military crisis. “I believe the Government has the capacity to cope with all these issues. The incumbent and the previous government supported by this parliamentary majority successfully managed the corona-crisis and its negative economic impact and we will do it again now,” says Kovachevski.
