The main stated priorities of the government led by Prime Minister  Dimitar Kovachevski are to: (a) manage the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic; (b) overcome the economic and energy crisis; and (c) pass the constitutional amendments required to continue the EU accession process, in line with the so-called “French Proposal” that triggered the beginning of negotiations with the EU on July 19, 2022. These constitutional amendments, including the inclusion of the Bulgarian minority in the Constitution of the Republic of North Macedonia, need to be approved by a qualified majority of two-thirds of the Members of Parliament. To date, the discussions in Parliament on the amendments are still ongoing and the final vote has yet to be scheduled.
