The constitutive session of the Assembly most probably will be held on 26 July. The VMRO-DPMNE leadership gave up on the idea to hold the constitutive session on 19 July, the date specified in former Assembly Chairman Ljupco Jordanovski's blank invitation, after SDSM announced that it would boycott the session if it is held on this date.

Previously, SDSM leader Vlado Buckovski and his coalition partner LDP leader Risto Penov agreed with VMRO-DPMNE leader Nikola Gruevski's proposal for the constitutive session to be held on 19 July.
