Skopje, 28 January 2022 (MIA) – Prime Minister Dimitar Kovachevski said he spoke to opposition VMRO-DPMNE leader Hristijan Mickoski on Friday morning, and the two agreed on a meeting that is to take place soon. “I called VMRO-DPMNE leader Hristijan Mickoski this morning and we agreed to organize a meeting in the coming period, very soon. The meeting could have happened sooner, but due to the busy agenda of the Government and because both SDSM secretaries were in isolation due to infection with the virus, we started organizing the meeting today and it will happen soon,” Kovachevski said in an interview with the national broadcaster. According to him, it is natural and normal for the two parties, the ruling party and the opposition, to communicate because there were many challenges ahead of the country related to dealing with the pandemic, the energy crisis, the heating energy crisis, the European integration process which he didn’t see only through talks with Bulgaria, but also as a whole concept of reforms in the Macedonian society, including reforms in the judiciary, reforms in the fight against corruption and crime. PM Kovachevski pointed out that a number of laws have already been submitted to Parliament, in the area of economy, adding that they should be adopted through a parliamentary debate because “at the end of the day, they mean better living conditions and better living standards for citizens.” Asked about the draft-amendments over cancellation of the so-called ‘Przhino government’, Kovachevski said it only confirmed the fact that institutions in the country are completely democratized at the moment. “The so-called ‘Przhino government’ was adopted because institutions at the time were practically partisan and abused for electoral purposes. There’s no better confirmation that this demand from the opposition to cancel the technical government that we have a democratized society, we have free media, where everyone has access,” said Kovachevski. He added as regards the cancelation itself that such decision has been adopted through agreement of the four largest parties, and it is also the only way for it to be cancelled.
