Tonight, the closest leadership of the ruling Alternative is expected to position itself and come up with its proposals after yesterday's leadership meeting between Prime Minister Dimitar Kovacevski and the president of the Alliance for Albanians Arben Taravari, 90 percent agreed on the program and the personnel offer for AA's entry into the Government follows.

The Vice-President of the Assembly and part of the close leadership of Alternativa, Husni Ismaili told "Sloboden Pechat" that at the regular party meeting he expects to discuss the official start of negotiations between the Government and the Alliance and that the party's president Afrim Gashi will inform about the talks with Kovacevski .

The meeting will also discuss whether it will be made official as a party offer, the idea floated by Alternativa, Gashi offering a compromise for the health department due to Kovacevski's dissatisfaction with the Minister of Health Bekim Sali. The compromise would be for Alternative to keep the ministry, but to replace Sali, and to offer the vice-president of the Assembly and rheumatologist Husni Ismaili in his place.

"For now it's just an idea. Tonight at the regular party meeting, I expect that President Gashi will inform us about the talks with Kovacevski about the possible entry of the Alliance for Albanians into the Government and whether that idea will be an option for Alternative - Isamili told us.

He does not want to prejudge whether he would accept the party to propose him as the new minister of health.

"I haven't thought about it. It's a big commitment. I know because I was the Minister of Culture. The health department is huge. I will think about it if the offer is serious," says Ismaili.

Alternative does not comment on whether, as a possible compromise, the party will officially come up with an offer to Kovachevski to keep the Ministry of Health with a new offer for a minister.

"We understand the interest of the public, but at this moment we can announce that the party authorities of Alternativa have not yet taken a final position regarding the current development of the political situation in North Macedonia. When that happens, the citizens will be immediately informed about all decisions from our side", said Alternative for "Sloboden Pechat".

After the meeting with Kovacevski, Taravari, although he emphasized that the division of departments will still be discussed, confirmed that they have the largest offer for the health department. Kovacevski, after the meeting with Taravari, and before the meeting of the Executive Board of the party, stated that they had meetings with Alternativa and that new ones will be held in the coming days.

"We have had meetings with Alternativa in the past days, during the coming days we will naturally have meetings where we will also discuss the development of the talks with Alliance", said Kovacevski.

Before the official start of the negotiations for the expansion of the government majority, the position of Alternative is that if the Alliance enters the government, the workshop for the ministerial positions should be paid by DUI and SDSM.
