Skopje: Postponement of vote on constitutional revision open

The Skopje state news agency says the vote may not take place today

The possibility of postponing for today the scheduled vote in the Skopje parliament regarding the Prespa agreement is left open by the state news agency of Skopje (MIA).

"The ruling party in Skopje and the country's opposition insist on their positions," the agency said, adding: "Ruling party lawmakers will vote in favor of the Macedonian agreement, which is a move that will open the country to accession." "At the same time, the main opposition party VMRO-DPMNE calls the proposal" unacceptable ", as well as the Prespa agreement, which provides for constitutional amendments", the article adds.

"Today, about ten lawmakers from the ruling elite are expected to take the podium in Skopje. Earlier in the week, opposition lawmakers announced that they would withdraw from the debate and called for an immediate vote. "If the Prespa agreement is debated today, the Skopje parliament must vote on the proposal," he said. It remains to be decided whether Members will vote immediately after the debate or whether the vote will be postponed to another day. "A two-thirds majority is required to ratify the agreement," the article commented.

"If the proposal for the introduction of constitutional changes is not approved in parliament, it is very likely that early elections will be called," he added.
