North Macedonia Sets Date for Snap Election After EU Talks Fail

North Macedonia’s political parties agreed to hold a snap election on April 12 as Prime Minister Zoran Zaev seeks support after the European Union rejected giving a start date for accession talks.
French President Emmanuel Macron thwarted an EU push to offer North Macedonia and Albania dates for starting negotiations last week, prompting Zaev to denounce the delay as “a historic mistake.” He called for a snap election, seeking a new four-year term to continue the EU integration process.
