Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski has refused the invitation of SDSM leader Branko Crvenkovski for a TV duel, saying there is no need for it, because as a politician he is responsible before citizens.

"Being a politician, I am responsible before citizens, not Branko Crvenkovski. I don't want to argue. I stand among citizens on a daily basis through media, debates, visits", said Gruevski after Thursday's promotion of new titles within project for translation of 500 vocational books.

Pertaining to the name talks, Gruevski expects a fresh idea from mediator Matthew Nimetz very soon.
