Skopje, 10 October 2023 (MIA) – The leader of the Democratic Union for Integration (DUI), Ali Ahmeti, said Tuesday that elections aren’t the solution, and stressed that the next parliamentary elections will be held on the regular date, in spring next year.

“The priority above all priorities is reaching an agreement over the constitutional amendments and the holding of the intergovernmental conference, which is supposed to be held by the end of the year. I don’t know what we can do to serve people better than to make sure the country joins the European Union. Elections won’t provide a solution, so, the next elections will be held on the regular date, in spring next year,” said Ahmeti in answer to a journalist’s question.

Ahmeti said in case VMRO-DPMNE has an issue with DUI being a part of the government, they will withdraw as soon as VMRO-DPMNE votes for the constitutional amendments.

Regarding the statement of VMRO-DPMNE leader Hristijan Mickoski in which he called for a meeting with SDSM leader and Prime Minister Dimitar Kovachevski in order to discuss the coming elections and the electoral process, Ahmeti said a meeting wasn’t necessary.
