The Municipality of Tetovo has issued a statement concerning the Constitutional Court’s recent ruling regarding the renaming of streets and squares within the municipality. In the clarification, the municipality stated that it did not defend the 2007 decision concerning the Albanian naming of local thoroughfares. According to the Municipality of Tetovo, the Albanian judges on the Constitutional Court, who were appointed by the previous administration, are reportedly focusing on day-to-day political matters rather than advocating for Albanian interests within the institution.
The municipal statement further argued that the process of renaming the streets in Tetovo was never formally concluded. Specifically, the municipality noted that the four governments that succeeded the period after 2007 did not officially pass the renaming as a government decision. Consequently, the changes were never recorded in the Cadastre or the Central Register.
Despite these procedural points, the Municipality of Tetovo maintained that the Albanian judges within the Constitutional Court should not have permitted the matter to proceed to that level. This statement represents the municipality’s official position regarding the legal implications of the recent court decision.

It seems the legality of the street names is questionable if they aren’t recorded in the Cadastre.
