Experts as well as institutions will also discuss about it and they will have a concrete legal solution for it,\u201d says the Minister of Justice, Krenar Lloga.<\/p>\n<p>The coordinator of the parliamentary group of the largest Albanian party, the Democratic Union for Integration, Arb\u00ebr Ademi, called for an electoral model that will end injustice towards Albanians.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re interested that Albanians and other communities are not tricked. We need a model that reflects the heterogenous structure of the society. If we talk about a unit, we should also talk about the threshold, open lists and so on,\u201d Ademi said.<\/p>\n<p>Electoral reforms should conclude at least 6 months before the elections. It is quite likely that by next spring, North Macedonia will vote in both presidential and parliamentary elections.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m optimistic about this and I hope we will come up with a proposal, while respecting deadlines that are set by European standards, so that the changes can be implemented in a 6-month period before the elections,\u201d said Alexandar Novakovski, head of the working group.<\/p>\n<p>The opposition party, VMRO-DPMNE was the only to boycott the working group on the electoral reform. However, they\u2019ve made a public request for an electoral unit, because according to them, all deputies would be elected by an equal number of votes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>North Macedonia has started working on the electoral reform.
