EU-RELATED LAWS TO BE RATIFIED BY BEGINNING OF AUGUST
admin1 – July 21, 2009 – 12:37pm

Under the pressure of the international community, ruling parties VMRO-DPMNE and BDI decided to ratify the bills on the Interior Ministry, the state administration, the Assembly, and financing of the political parties - which are a condition for Macedonia to receive a positive report from the European Commission - by the beginning of August, when the Assembly officially goes on summer recess. These laws will be adopted even though they do not have the support of the opposition - despite the fact that the EU insists on a consensus on these laws. Even though government coalition partners VMRO-DPMNE and BDI disagreed over the bill on the Interior Ministry, they reached an agreement on this law.
