VMRO-DPMNE is going to bring into question the governing coalition if it insists that President Gjorge Ivanov should be reelected for another term. BDI made it clear that they would not support Ivanov because in his present term he failed to show he was the president of all citizens. As a way of avoiding divisions and a crisis in the governing coalition, Ahmeti offered his coalition partner that they should nominate a consensual candidate, Vest reports.

MP Ermira Mehmeti from BDI says that BDI wants the governing coalition to remain stable yet if VMRO-DPMNE nominates Ivanov for another presidential term despite knowing what BDI think of his nomination, the stability of the coalition will inevitably be upset.

“This is going to be a test to the governing coalition. We believe that in our cooperation with VMRO-DPMNE so far we have built mutual trust to be able to overcome these differences. Moreover, the policy of obstinacy leads nowhere,” she said.
