SKOPJE, Jan 28 /ATA/- Talat Xhaferi is expected to be elected Prime Minister of North Macedonia on Sunday. He is expected to run the technical government that will be in charge of organizing the upcoming May 8 elections.
In the run-up to the session where his government is expected to be sworn in and approved in the Assembly, Talat Xhaferi, told a media briefing that the election of an Albanian prime minister for the first time in North Macedonia comes at the right time.
“I think it happens at the timely moment due to the fact that the procedural and formal aspects are determined by the Law on Government, which stipulates that 100 days before the elections there must be a technical government in place to be in charge of ensuring a smooth running of the elections, in addition to governmental responsibilities and the functioning of institutions. I believe it happens at the right time and at the right moment,” he told the media.
Xhaferi will have a 100 day term of office. The leader of DUI, Ali Ahmeti, also described this day as historic.
