Xinhua, December 10, 2016 Adjust font size:

Citizens of Macedonia should come out and cast their ballot on the parliamentary elections of Dec. 11, Macedonian President Gjorge Ivanov appealed in a press conference on Friday.

Ivanov said citizens should use their right to vote and give their trust to the political party they believe is the best choice for them personally as well as Macedonia.

On the other hand, the Macedonian president also asked the institutions involved in the electoral process to demonstrate political culture and respect the constitution and laws.

"They should not succumb to any pressure and show no tolerance or mercy for those who try to prevent or disrupt, in any way, the electoral process," Ivanov urged.

He stressed free and democratic election process will mark the beginning of the end to the political crisis, as well as the start of national reconciliation in Macedonia. Enditem
