Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski said that this day is important for the state, stressing that he would be happiest if democracy prevails. “I am glad that the voting in the majority of the polling places in the state is normal, fair, and democratic. I regret that small incidents were registered in some places, that is, in northwestern Macedonia,” Prime Minister Gruevski said after casting his vote in the Kisela Voda Municipality, NetPress reports.

The prime minister added that VMRO-DPMNE would insist on the voting being cancelled and repeated in the polling places in which incidents were registered. “I hope that the results this evening will be a victory for the Republic of Macedonia,” Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski said.
