The BDI has announced plans to hold a peaceful protest in Tetovë this Saturday. According to the organization, the demonstration is a direct response to recent decisions concerning the renaming of several city streets and the central square. Furthermore, BDI cited the Constitutional Court’s decision to reinstate previous names for these public areas as the catalyst for the planned gathering.
BDI has expressed concerns that these naming changes and subsequent legal rulings contravene the established constitutional order. The group stated that these developments, in their view, pose a threat to the implementation and adherence to the Ohrid Agreement, which they view as fundamental to the country’s framework for coexistence and its path toward Euro-Atlantic integration. In a statement regarding the planned action, BDI characterized the upcoming protest as a call for greater institutional accountability.
They emphasized the necessity of respecting the constitutional framework and safeguarding the principles enshrined in the Ohrid Agreement. The organization extended an invitation to all citizens who support these values to participate in a manner described as peaceful, dignified, and responsible. The group asserted that the defense of a state’s history often involves moments where its citizens actively seek to uphold foundational principles.
The scheduled protest on Saturday is framed by BDI as an effort to reinforce these core national commitments against perceived deviations from the agreed-upon constitutional path.
