Northern Macedonia President Stevo Pendarovski handed the mandate for forming the new government for organising the elections to Talat Xhaferi. The new government is expected to be voted in Sunday, 100 days before election day.

Xhaferi said that as prime minister, he will continue working “with dedication and honesty”.
