Macedonia is entering a political crisis. There is no dialogue among the parties, as a result of which the relations among the key institutions are strained. The Parliament debates insignificant issues and two parties announced that they would withdraw from the Assembly. This was the assessment that SDSM Chairwoman Radmila Sekerinska presented on Friday. She proposed a package of four resolutions for a way out of the deadlock in the dialogue and for return to the basic political processes.

She announced that SDSM would offer support in the Parliament, as well as its own arguments for issues for which a consensus is necessary.

We do not accept preconditions and blackmail for dialogue, Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski said in Bitola yesterday as regards SDSM leader Radmila Sekerinska's proposal.
