President Branko Crvenkovski and Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski had a meeting late Thursday to discuss a motion for the Parliament dissolution, calling of early elections, and the EU and NATO agenda, MIA (Macedonian Information Agency) reported.

After their meeting, held on the PM's initiative, Gruevski said he wished to convince the President that whatever the decision on the motion for the Parliament dissolution, his party and the Government would keep working on the realization of the state and national interests.

- I wished to convince him that all of us, I, Nikola Gruevski, VMRO-DPMNE, the Government, experts, citizens and all those who can help, will carry on fighting for NATO and the EU and do everything that is in favor of our state and national interests. After his speech, I wanted once again to convince him that regardless of the upcoming processes, we are holding to the course of the NATO and EU agenda, the struggle for preserving our identity and name, and together, engaging all potentials at our disposal, we will resume our fight, as I am certain that Macedonia has the strength to deal with these challenges and succeed, Gruevski said.
