SDSM and the parliamentary groups of the opposition front started boycotting the parliamentary coordination meetings held with Parliament Speaker Trajko Veljanoski every Monday. The reason for the boycott is the fact that Veljanoski refused to put the draft laws proposed by SDSM on the agenda for debate for the next sitting, Dnevnik reports.

“The public had an opportunity to see that the opposition led by SDSM tried to improve the people’s lives with ideas, initiatives and laws. Unfortunately, all our positive legal suggestions were rejected by VMRO-DPMNE and voted out. Parliament Speaker Trajko Veljanoski went a step further. Motivated by party interests of VMRO-DPMNE, in contravention of the parliamentary practice, he refused to put the laws proposed by the opposition on the agenda for debate for the next sitting,” Igor Ivanovski, coordinator of the parliamentary group of SDSM, explained Tuesday.

He also said they were going to inform the embassies about the unfair attitude of Veljanoski and the government.
