We will withdraw our objections we have for the methodology of the renewal of the voters’ list, if VMRO-DPMNE agree to accept the proposals from the International Community to reform the media, said Damian Manchevski from SDSM.
“If this is not acceptable to VMRO-DPMNE, then they really do not want to hold fair and democratic elections.”
Manchevski clarified that proposals from the ruling party for the media law were not only unacceptable to SDSM, but were also unacceptable for media workers.
Belgian facilitator Peter Vanhoutte gave a statement earlier, and said it was good that parties were making proposals, but they are only suggestions, and not final decisions. He confirmed that some of the proposals for the media from the ruling party did not meet European standards.
