VMRO-DPMNE will temporarily return to Parliament for Stoltenberg’s speech

-

MPs from VMRO-DPMNE will attend Parliament on Thursday to hear NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg’s speech, who is coming tomorrow to visit the country.

However, for now, the return of the opposition to the benches will be only for this occasion, as for the future, the party says, they will inform the general public in a timely manner.

“We have been and remain with our policy orientations towards the European Union and NATO. It is true that we will attend the address of the NATO Secretary General. For further matters, whether we are returning or not to Parliament, we will inform you and the general public in a timely manner”, said the director of the Center for Communications of the party, Ivo Kotevski for “Focus”.

The main opposition party, for a month and a half, have boycotted working in Parliament because of the detainment of suspects from last year’s violence on April 27th, among six are MPs from VMRO-DPMNE.

The new party leader, Hristijan Mickoski, recently said that their MPs will return to Parliament “when a democratic environment is created for it to function”.
