The Assembly of North Macedonia has faced legislative challenges regarding stalled laws that require a Badinter majority. Speaker Afrim Gashi reported a political impasse concerning laws on fair representation, higher education, and local self-government, accusing the Democratic Union for Integration (DUI) of using procedural tactics to block progress.

Gashi stated he would not allow these tactics to trigger early elections and called for political dialogue. Following these tensions, the Assembly convened its 121st session with a broad agenda, including a vote to appoint Arlinda Hasani Sinani as deputy governor of the National Bank, as well as discussions on foreign direct investment registration, traffic safety strategies, and various international defense and aviation ratifications.
