The referendum is consultative, political analyst in Skopje Petar Arsovski said in a statement to the Athens-Macedonian News Agency (ANA).

The nationalist party VMRO party has started a campaign over the last days to avert people from going to vote in order to increase the number of absentee percentage.
“The percentage must be 50%+1”, Professor of Philosophy in the University of Skopje Vanskova said to the Athens-Macedonian News Agency. However, this is something that the government and the media elite are trying to persuade the public that is not true.
The referendum is clearly a reality show, she said adding that the crucial part is the parliament where the constitutional review should take place. “ I believe that the real thing begins on Monday,” she underlined.
“ Sunday is just a show for the international public, for the domestic public,” she explained and added: “ The opinion of the public is completely irrelevant because the referendum was called against the provisions of the Constitution. And the whole media campaign was illegal.”
