SKOPJE (Reuters) - Macedonia's veteran nationalist leader Nikola Gruevski sought re-election as prime minister on Sunday almost a year after stepping down in an EU-brokered deal to end a crisis over a long-standing corruption scandal.

Most recent opinion polls have shown a lead for his centre-right VMRO-DPMNE party, which has led governing coalitions in the former Yugoslav republic for the best part of a decade.
