Skopje, 19 March 2024 (MIA) - It is good that we will have at least two coalitions that promote North Macedonia's swift EU integration and win the elections so the country can continue on its Euro-integration path without any hindrances, said SDSM leader Dimitar Kovachevski on Tuesday.

Kovachevski said party structures "decide whether we enter into coalition during or after the elections" when asked why SDSM would not go into coalition with DUI and other parties of the "European Front".

"As far as I know, some political parties will sign a coalition agreement tomorrow, the common goal being North Macedonia's swift EU integration. On the other hand, the party that has the best record in the field of EU and NATO integration is SDSM, which is also leading a coalition that promotes Euro-Atlantic integration. We have already made this coalition official," said Kovachevski.

He added that a portion of their coalition partners have also supported their presidential candidate Stevo Pendarovski.

"It is good that the country will see two coalitions that promote North Macedonia's swift EU integration, coalitions that will win the elections so the country can continue on its Euro-integration path without any hindrances. This is an issue of strategic importance for the country, one that is indispensable for the enhancement of many processes," noted Kovachevski.
