Assembly session

Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski called on SDSM in the Assembly today to explain what this party promised BDI when it was in power. "This was promised to us by SDSM, BDI told us at the talks. So I call on them to tell us what they promised. We did not participate in those talks and we cannot fulfill promises made by others," Prime Minister Gruevski said, as regards BDI's demands for bilingualism and ratification of a law for the NLA fighters.

He repeated that there are fundamental differences between VMRO-DPMNE and BDI with regard to the interpretation of the Constitution, stressing that they have the same - maybe even bigger - differences with their coalition partner PDSH. "We are discussing these issues and we are looking for a compromise, but there is no agreement for now," the prime minister said.
