Paragraph 63
 

Another, rather strong affirmative action mechanism has been implemented in the design of the electoral districts. Some of the electoral districts are so designed to favour the minority representation. This is the case, for example, with the municipality of Suto Orizari, in the capital of Skopje. This district was established "to enable the election of a representative of the Roma community."
