Speaker Xhaferi says would schedule meeting if party leaders agreed on it
Skopje, 9 October 2023 (MIA) - Parliament Speaker Talat Xhaferi told MIA on Monday he would schedule a meeting focused on dates for the presidential and parliamentary elections only if party leaders agreed to this, adding that such discussions should finish by the end of the year, since anything after would concern only procedures regarding regular elections.
"First and foremost, it is not whether the Parliament Speaker would schedule a leaders' meeting. I think it would be more appropriate to ask the party leaders if they would respond to a possible invitation. In this regard, there is no problem on my part," says Xhaferi.
He adds that deadlines for the regular election slots are clearly prescribed in the Constitution and the legislation, "but there is still room for agreement until the end of the year".
