To a great surprise of many, representatives of the major governing and opposition parties in Macedonia held a meeting at the Radika Hotel in Leunovo over the weekend. According to the scarce information media could obtain, the event at which they met was a workshop on the development of education in Macedonia over the next two decades organized by the British Embassy in Skopje, or, to be more exact, the think-tank organization Wilton Park from London.

The event was not heralded and took place behind closed doors, which sparked speculations that the education strategy was not the primary goal of holding this event. However, some of those who attended the workshop say the forum was not used as an occasion for holding secret talks between VMRO-DPMNE and SDSM in a bid to overcome the parliamentary crisis.
