The leader of the VMRO-DPMNE, Nikolla Gruevski accepted on Sunday the conditions of the Democratic Union for Integration (BDI) of Ali Ahmeti and the Albanian platform, local media report.

Now Macedonia is expected to create the new government since the agreement between the parties was reached.

Gruevski accepted the conditions of the Albanian parties to include the Albanian language as an official language in Macedonia and to use it in every level of administration.

Weeks ago, representatives of Macedonia's ethnic Albanian parties signed in Skopje a joint declaration with seven conditions.

The election last December in Macedonia ended inconclusively after the ruling VMRO DPMNE party won 51 of the 120 seats and the main opposition Social Democrats, SDSM, won 49.

Each bloc needs at least 61 seats to form a majority, which is why both sides are eyeing the 20 seats won by the four Albanian parties.

The three parties - the Democratic Union for Integration, BDI, led by Ali Ahmeti, the Besa movement, led by Bilal Kasami, and the Movement for Reform - Democratic Party of Albanians, LR PDSH, led by Ziadin Sela - which together have 18 seats - seek full equality between Macedonians and Albanians in the Macedonian state.
