US Ambassador Jess Baily believes that the Law on Languages should be fall within the guidelines of the Ohrid Framework Agreement and to create an inclusive society.
“The law on languages should fall within the guidelines of the Ohrid Agreement, which was an important agreement. This is an important issue to discuss and find solutions that are both creating an inclusive society and an inclusive political system, but also maintaining the unity and common sense of purpose among all the peoples’ of this country”, said Bailey in an interview for Alsat- M, while answering the question whether he expects the law to be accepted by all ethnic communities.
Regarding the de-politicization of the institutions, which is part of the “3-6-9” plan, the US ambassador says it is possible, but it takes time to feel the effects.
“People have to get used to new ways of doing things.Look, in institutions there is a long history of political culture here. You will not overcome that overnight. You have to be willing to go step by step and you’ll look back and see a large reform that has always started with a few small steps”, says Baily.
