On May 16th Macedonia officially launched the start of the campaign for early elections on June 5th in which only the leading party is participating. The VMRO-DPMNE party, led by former PM Nikola Gruevski, denied any accusations of suspending political pluralism. A senior source of VMRO-DPMNE said: "It is a misconception that only one party [VMRO DPMNE] will participate. Our coalition is comprised of 20 parties and that is in itself proof that political pluralism will be preserved."
