Opposition deputy Blerim Bexheti of the Democratic Union for Integration (BDI) has called for a discussion among North Macedonian Albanians regarding the future of the state if the 2001 Ohrid Agreement is not fully respected. Speaking on April 20, 2026, Bexheti initiated a debate concerning the interpretation and implementation of the agreement, following statements from Prime Minister Hrisijan Mickoski. Bexheti asserted that significant challenges exist within the current state structure.
He invited engagement from both Macedonian and Albanian populations to collectively analyze the Ohrid Agreement and its implications. Bexheti emphasized that the perceived political pressures surrounding the agreement are focused on the ongoing integration process. He stated that if an agreement cannot be reached, North Macedonian Albanians possess a legitimate right to explore alternative approaches.
Bexheti’s comments highlight continued tensions surrounding the Ohrid Agreement and its role in shaping the political landscape of North Macedonia. The BDI representative’s call underscores the need for dialogue and a potential reevaluation of the existing state order.
