Kovachevski: No discussions over AA joining Government

Kovachevski: No discussions over AA joining Government
Skopje, 13 October 2022 (MIA) - Prime Minister Dimitar Kovachevski said on Thursday that he has not yet scheduled an official meeting with the leadership of the Alliance for Albanians (AA) when asked by reporters whether negotiations are underway for this party to join the Government. "I only met with AA MP Elmi Aziri, who was part of the Economic Council, discussing economic measures," said PM Kovachevski. Recent days have suggested that AA will join the Government but representatives of the party's leadership denied such claims. AA acting president Arben Taravari said that for now, they do not have an offer to join the Government. "We have not discussed the topic of whether to enter or leave, we were neither part of the Government nor did we think about it. We will consider the option if there is such a proposal, but as of now there is nothing like that," Taravari said. AA MP and member of the party leadership Surija Rashidi, on the other hand, said that rumors about the party's entry into the government is just speculation. "This topic was not presented at any meeting. The Alliance for Albanians is a serious political entity, which does not make decisions based on speculation, but based on what is real and objective," said Rashidi. dk/ik/
