I am not biased, but the parties that seek qualifications are&#8221;, said Siljanovska-Davkova.<\/p>\n<p>The Prime Minister, Hristijan Mickoski, on the other hand, assured that the provisions disputed by the president will be corrected, and the same will be returned for procedure in the Assembly.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think it is routine and formality. They will be corrected and will be in accordance with the Constitution and the Law on Languages, they will return to the parliamentary procedure and I expect the successful approval of this law&#8221;, said Mickoski on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>Mickoski recalled that the official language throughout the territory of the state is the Macedonian language, adding that those who wish for the forms for the exam and license to be issued in the Albanian language will have this right.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The President of North Macedonia, Gordana Silanovska-Davkova, has exercised her first veto since she was elected in May last year, by not enacting the Child Protection Law, which, among other things, provided that licenses for nursery school guardians to be in the Albanian language, in addition to the Macedonian language.
