Municipal council

With no functioning parliament in place to either decree or postpone the next local elections, which are supposed to be held in early May, Macedonia's 80-plus municipalities are in danger of soon being trapped in deadlock.

The service in office of the entire Municipal Council in Pavel Banya has been terminated. The decision was made by the local electoral commission on Friday, as reported by the Bulgarian National Radio (BNR).

Municipal MPs will be gathering today at around 2 pm to hold an extraordinary meeting.
