U prethodnom periodu je došlo do proširenja desnice, posebno vladajuće stranke VMRO-DPMNE, te do raspada koalicije Zajedno za Makedoniju pod vodstvom Socijaldemokrata, formirane 2000. godine.
The past period has seen enlargement of the right wing, in particular of the ruling VMRO-DPMNE party and the dissolution of the Social Democrat-led For Macedonia Together coalition, formed in 2000.
