admin1 – July 30, 2008 – 2:47pm

VMRO-DPMNE set an ultimatum to the opposition yesterday that, if it does not return to the Assembly today, the ruling majority would form the assembly committees by itself. VMRO-DPMNE’s Ilija Dimovski, chairman of the assembly Committee on Election and Appointment Issues, sent a letter to the coalition “Sun” yesterday, asking it to nominate candidates for members of the assembly working bodies, the delegations for international and bilateral cooperation, and the assembly Committee on Relations among Communities.

Otherwise, the parliamentary majority will form these bodies by itself. The coalition “Sun” stated that they had not received this letter yet, and they stressed that they would comment on it when they receive it.
