The resignation of the Prime Minister of North Macedonia, Dimitar Kovacevski, and the appointment of the interim Prime Minister and the interim government are expected next week.
This development results from the electoral legislation of North Macedonia, according to which, 100 days before the holding of the parliamentary elections, the provisional Government is formed that will lead the country until the parliamentary elections.
Parliamentary elections in Skopje will be held on May 8. This means that on January 27 or 28, a temporary government will be formed, which will receive a vote of confidence from the country's Parliament.
Based on the political agreement between the co-governing parties "Bashkimi Social Demokratik" (LSDM) led by Dimitar Kovacevski and the Albanian DUI led by Ali Ahmeti, this interim government will be led by a person appointed by the Albanian party and for for the first time in the country's history, since 1991 when it gained independence, the country will have an Albanian prime minister, even for 100 days.
The DUI proposed the current Speaker of the Assembly and a senior official of the Albanian party, Talat Xhaferi, as acting Prime Minister.
According to the electoral legislation, the opposition also participates in this temporary government with two ministers from its ranks (Interior and Labor). These ministers will be proposed by the main opposition party, the right-wing VMRO-DPMNE. However, this party, despite having decided to participate in the interim government, will abstain, as it said, from voting in the Assembly to give its vote of confidence to the interim government, because it considers Talat Xhaferi as unsuitable for the prime minister of the country.
Dimitar Kovačevski stated that if VMRO-DPMNE maintains the position of abstention and no confidence in the interim government, then the two ministerial portfolios belonging to it in this government should remain vacant. The DUI is said to have expressed the same position.
VMRO-DPMNE said that if the ministers it will propose are not included in the interim Government, this means a violation of the electoral law.
62-year-old Talat Xhaferi has been the Speaker of the Assembly of North Macedonia since 2017. The new Speaker of the Assembly will be appointed the parliamentary representative of SDSM.
Albanians make up 25% of the population of North Macedonia.
The parliamentary elections on May 8 will coincide with the second round of the presidential elections in North Macedonia, which is considered a foregone conclusion, since, as expected, none of the candidates for the presidential seat will collect more than 50% in the first round. first to be held on April 24, 2024.
