Macedonia's opposition ethnic Albanian party has called for the government to step down due to its inability to deliver a Euro-Atlantic future to its people.

Macedonia has exhaused all its chances, Menduh Thaci said after the country did not get a green light for the start of its EU accession talks due to the unresolved name spat with neighboring Greece.

The leader of the Democratic Party of Albanians, DPA, said he was not taken by surprise with the political strategy of the Prime Minister and ruling VMRO-DPMNE party leader Nikola Gruevski to avoid solving the long running spat.

"Both Gruevski and VMRO-DPMNE want to resume their historical mission dating back 100 years ago i.e. to annex Macedonia to Bulgaria," he said.

He urged the junior ruling coalition party, the ethnic Albanian Democratic Union for Integration DUI, to quit the governing coalition and to stand in defense of Albanians' interests.
