MACEDONIA: 6 June UPDATE: PM Nikola Gruevski To Get 3rd Term After Opposition Boycott Forced New Election.
LINK CHANGE / EURONEWS English :49 Video Report
Macedonians voted for the parliament because of an opposition boycott.
They elected all 123 members. Turnout was strong...almost 54% of 1.8 mn eligible.
In January, the leftist party walked out of the parliament after authorities froze a sympathetic TV station's bank accounts during a tax probe.
The voting was monitored by some 3,500 local and 330 international observers.
PM Nikola Gruevski's party led but fell short of winning a majority.
Gruevski will get his third term as PM.
High unemployment and a flagging economy are key voter concerns.
Skopje became an EU candidate in 2005 but a 19-year name dispute with Greece has impeded it.
