The Assembly will open a debate today on dissolving of the Parliament and calling of early parliamentary elections. There are big chances of early elections being called, after ruling party VMRO-DPMNE and Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski supported BDI's initiative for early parliamentary elections. The opposition, led by SDSM, strongly opposes this initiative.

Political circles are already making calculations on whether VMRO-DPMNE and BDI will be able to secure a minimum of 61 votes, necessary for dissolving of the Parliament. VMRO-DPMNE sources assert that support has already been secured from some parliamentarians from the smaller ethnic communities. PDSH confirmed yesterday that it would support the initiative for early elections, A1 reports. On the other hand, SDSM sources maintain that they have sufficient support for formation of a technical government that would call elections in March next year.
