Mickoski says early elections possible but 'never say never'

North Macedonian Prime Minister Hristijan Mickoski said early elections could be possible but that one should "never say never". In an interview with TV21's "Klik Plus" programme on possible early elections, he said the government is working for its full four-year term. Mickoski added that VMRO-DPMNE, as a party, is always ready for elections.

Mickoski said that in politics "never" should not be said, calling it the biggest mistake individuals make, and that the door should always remain open to every policy. Asked whether the average salary could reach 60,000 denars, he said it may or may not, but the government will do everything to approach the 60,000 denar threshold.

On coalition partner VLEN, Mickoski said he was very pleased with its ministers and that everything works in partnership. He said he was far more satisfied with the capacity of these people than with the capacity of DUI ministers after 20 years in power.
