Party Gruevski in the lead in Macedonia

The preliminary results of the parliamentary elections in Macedonia was the party of former Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski on Sunday in the lead.

The early and twice postponed elections are seen as the most important of the past twenty years. The elections were held under strong pressure from the United States and European Union to put an end to a crippling political crisis in the former Yugoslav republic.

The opposition accused the camp of Gruevski on the basis of telephone tapping of large-scale corruption and crime. Gruevski pointed any involvement of the hand, but according to a special prosecutor appointed by him were some of the accusations grounded in his address.
