Organizing snap parliamentary elections is the decision of Prime Minister Zoran Zaev after the failure to start accession negotiations with the EU. The prime minister insists he will continue on the European path.

Early elections whose date will depend on agreement between the leading parties are offered by Prime Minister Zoran Zaev after the outcome of the EU summit in Brussels.

"We have no time to lose. My suggestion is to organize snap elections as soon as possible. Elections in which you, the citizens, will make a decision and confirmation of the way the country should go.

That will be my proposal for tomorrow's leadership meeting, "Zaev said at a government press conference today. He admitted that he was also considering resigning.

"All the options were in my head, I felt anger and frustration, but I said I had no right to stop fighting".

Enlargement Commissioner Johannes Hahn says responsibility for the decision not to assign a date for negotiations to Northern Macedonia and Albania lies not with the two countries but with the European Union.

"And just to be clear: the responsibility for this failure is not on Northern Macedonia and Albania that hoped for the right to a positive decision.

They delivered! The EU is responsible for failing to deliver due to internal problems.

This is damaging to the Union's credibility not only in the Western Balkans region, but beyond, "Hahn wrote on Twitter.
