Calling Chard: asparagus and leek risotto with chicken | SaltWireSKOPJE - North Macedonian presidential candidate Gordana Siljanovska-Davkova held a big lead over incumbent Stevo Pendarovski with votes counted from 99.03% of polling stations on Thursday, but both were short of the 50% backing needed to win outright.
The vote for the largely ceremonial presidency was widely seen as a litmus test for the parliamentary election, in which VMRO-DPMNE is seeking to unseat the ruling pro-European and centre-left Social Democrats. VMRO-DPMNE has gained ground in recent years over public anger at the slow pace of the Balkan country's accession to the European Union, corruption and slow development.
North Macedonia's candidacy to join the EU was met with optimism in 2005. However, 19 years later, it has made little progress, in part because of opposition from EU members Greece and Bulgaria.
