BDI leader Ali Ahmeti will wait to see whether Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski will distance himself from the disputable parts in MANU's (Macedonian Academy of Sciences and Arts) encyclopedia, before he decides whether his party should remain in the ruling coalition, Dnevnik has learned from party sources. Even though a number of political parties called on the prime minister to state his official position on this issue, there was no reaction from the Government or VMRO-DPMNE yesterday. They say that Gruevski remains on the position that he has "no comment".

The daily's sources say that Ahmeti and Gruevski have still not discussed the scandal concerning the encyclopedia, noting that when they meet, Ahmeti would inform the prime minister that this publication aggravated the interethnic relations and that it will have a negative effect on coexistence.
