The Prime Minister of North Macedonia, Hristijan Mickoski, declared on Tuesday that he has received the letter sent the day before by the leader of the Democratic Union for Integration (BDI) in the opposition, Ali Ahmeti, in which the latter expressed concerns about the impact of the recent decisions of the Constitutional Court on the inter-ethnic cohesion and stability of the country.

According to Mickoski, in the first part of the letter, Ahmeti addresses issues of the geopolitical situation and in the second part he expresses dissatisfaction with the judges’ decisions, which, according to him, “were chosen with the support of the previous government, DUI and the Social Democratic League (LSDM) “, writes REL.

“I did not know that these judges, I repeat, elected by the majority of SDSM and DUI, implement a program of VMRO-DPMNE. That he was concerned about the issue related to the Law on languages, and that the constitutional judges elected by SDSM and DUI had to be intervened, to be careful what they are doing, because in this way they can destabilize the state. This is roughly the paper. Let the public evaluate whether this deserves comment”, answered Mickoski on Tuesday, before the conference of the Bloomberg Adria platform.

He emphasized that he does not agree with DUI’s position on how the state should function, and added that “the time when politicians can influence the decisions of judges and prosecutors is over.”

Ahmeti, in addition to Mickoski, on Sunday also sent the letter to the leaders of Albania and Kosovo, as well as international ones, including the president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen and the US Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, to address the recent decisions: the repeal of the Law on the use of languages, the prohibition of ethnic identification in state institutions (the Balancer) and the formation of a Government without fair ethnic representation.

Former American diplomat Daniel Server, at the same time a professor at “Johns Hopkins” University in Washington, also gave an answer to Ahmeti’s letter.

He said that the problems that Ahmeti points out in the letter should be decided by the citizens of North Macedonia, not someone from abroad.

Regarding the Law on the use of languages, Server said that there is no dilemma as it is clearly regulated by the Ohrid Agreement, and this should not be questioned.

“I don’t understand how you can question this obligation without creating more problems than North Macedonia already has. This was an important part of the 2001 peace agreement. It is important to preserve it,” said former diplomat Server.
