This is a great victory for the people of Macedonia and I congratulate this great holiday of democracy, said SDSM leader and Prime Minister Zoran Zaev, adding that the elections were fair and democratic.
Zaev said that the results were as expected for them, both for the opposition and for the citizens. He emphasized that there must be no euphoria, that is, “celebrations end tonight, from tomorrow they will continue working”.
He also called on the opposition, VMRO-DPMNE to reconsider its decision not to recognize the elections and to work in the interest of the citizens. He ruled out the possibility of organizing early parliamentary elections.
“I understand these emotional moments of our opponent, but I hope that they will put the interests of the people first”, said Prime Minister Zaev.
