Despite announcing it, the State Election Commission still has not held a session at which the newly established situation is supposed to be discussed, or rather, the fact that only one coalition has applied for partaking in June 5 elections.
For two days now, the Commission's session is being postponed which could mean that its members might have a different opinion on how to deal with the situation. One of the options is to inform Parliament, i.e. the president, that conditions have not been met for holding elections since there is only one party or coalition registered for elections. It is still not clear whether the Commission will hold a meeting Tuesday.
But, constitutional experts have different viewpoints on whether Parliament can be called on to annul the decision for elections on June 5.
Some think that a dissolved Parliament can only be called on in an emergency situation or a war situation and that scheduled elections must be held.
Other experts deem that the mandate of the president and current MPs lasts until the election of a new parliamentary format.
On Monday, Parliament President Trajko Veljanovski pointed out there is no constitutional option for calling on Parliament to assemble.
"I'm familiar with developments and demands and I would like to say that I have no constitutional right to call a session when Parliament has dissolved. This is a basic principle of any constitutional country, including Macedonia", he said.
