As he said, « Sarrowing games are transparent games, easily identified and know and are often hit by those who make them. » In a statement yesterday, when he announced the meeting with Taravari, Mickoski said he wanted to hear « whether it is true that there is an agreement between the Taravari and DUI party » to support the elections, saying it is unacceptable for him.

Arben Taravari, meanwhile, said in Tetovo that they remain on the decision made at the party’s presidency in the October local elections to perform with special councilors « and probably their own candidates for mayors in the municipalities where they are coming out », but will hear the prime minister’s position and will continue their position.
