Political parties in negotiations over electoral roll and reforms within the media

The meeting between the working groups of the political parties, all signatories to the Przhino Agreement, at the MPs Clubhouse in Skopje yesterday made no progress, reports sources to “Meta”. The only issue that was agreed on, at the insistence of the SDSM, was in parallel with the methodology used to cleanse and renew the voters’ list, is to also negotiate reforms in the media.
VMRO-DPMNE and DUI accepted methodologies proposed by the State Election Commission, and no major objections were made by SDSM. However, our sources say that they still need time to resolve and define many open questions. Amongst other issues, what criteria will determine which addresses will be visited during field inspections for the renewal and update of the voters’ list and which will be the legal basis for the removal from the electoral roll.
