Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski and BDI leader Ali Ahmeti met in Skopje yesterday afternoon. Gruevski told Ahmeti at the meeting that the demands for adoption of a law for the NLA members and voting in of a Government in accordance with the Badinter principle are unacceptable to him, but he said that he is willing to discuss BDI's other demands, the media report.

"BDI raised the demands for regulation of the status of the former NLA members and adoption of a law for use of the Albanian language before the elections. As far as I know, they did not withdraw from the Assembly then, despite the fact that they did not get what they wanted," Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski said. "The only major new thing is their demand for the preparation of a list of laws that would be ratified with a Badinter majority. We are close to a resolution for this issue," Gruevski stressed.
