The BDI issued a statement highlighting Prime Minister Hristjan Mickoski’s parliamentary comments concerning the utilization of the Albanian language as a particularly alarming development in political dialogue since the signing of the Ohrid Peace Agreement. The assertion that the Albanian language can be employed “as you wish,” while Macedonian remains the sole official language, transcends a simple political declaration. It represents a deliberate return to the reasoning established within the 1991 Constitution and Article 7 of that document.
This position disregards Amendment V of 2001, which forms the bedrock of constitutional order and the crucial balance between ethnic groups within the nation. The BDI stresses that this stance fundamentally undermines the core principles of the Ohrid Agreement. This agreement is not a superficial concession, but rather a genuine framework for coexistence designed to address the root causes of discord.
The BDI emphasizes the importance of protecting the Albanian language and its usage. The organization contends that Mickoski’s remarks directly contradict the agreement’s intended purpose, failing to acknowledge the foundational amendment that secured inter-ethnic harmony. This represents a serious challenge to the established constitutional structure and the delicate balance it seeks to maintain.
