Pendarovski and Siljanovska will go head-to-head in North Macedonia presidential run-off
Prime Minister Zoran Zaev has downplayed fears of a crisis but said there would be three options: holding a re-run, passing constitutional changes to remove the threshold, or giving parliament the power to appoint the president.
The presidential poll was the first since Zaev finalised a deal this year with Athens to add "North" to his country's name, ending a decades-long identity row between the neighbours. The name-change enraged nationalists but cleared Skopje's path to join NATO and the EU – ambitions Greece had previously blocked over the name issue.newspaper said in an editorial that there was no clear winner, urging candidates to "start from zero" in their campaigns and "address real citizens' needs."
More than a fifth of the country is jobless while average wages are stuck at around $450 a month, leading huge numbers to emigrate abroad."They blame ordinary people for low turnout but it is their fault, not ours. Parties need to change," he added. On Sunday evening Zaev called on voters to back "progressive" Pendarovski, 56, instead of the opposition's Siljanovska, 62, who he described as "destructive."Siljanovska, meanwhile, accused Zaev of losing his legitimacy and urged early parliament elections.
