Macedonian President Branko Crvenkovski gave the mandate for formation of the new government to VMRO-DPMNE Chairman Nikola Gruevski yesterday. Immediately after this, Gruevski started talks with PDSH and BDI on formation of a new ruling coalition.

“I cannot foresee how long the talks with the parties from the Albanian political bloc will last. I would like this process to be completed as soon as possible so that we can form the new government before the deadline,” mandatary Gruevski said.
