From this point, the draft law for the use of languages should be sent to the Commission for European Affairs. I will set the session of the Commission for the 22nd of November, the day of the Albanian alphabet, and we expect the whole procedure to be over and the law to be voted by the end of this year. This will close the last issue of the Ohrid Framework Agreement i.e. its normative part – said DUI’s MP, Artan Grubi, the President of the Parliamentary Commission for European Affairs during the press conference that occurred as soon as the MPs with majority of votes have voted the proposed law for the use of languages at its first reading.
As was explained by Grubi, for solving the issue with the complete use of the Albanian language as the Albanian parties are demanding, a complete constitutional intervention will be needed, for which Grubi said it cannot be accomplished at the moment.
He expressed his hopes that VMRO-DPMNE’s MPs will change their opinions and in the end, they will vote in favor of this law.
-I’m expressing my disappointment of VMRO-DPMNE’s MPs, but I’m hoping that they shall reiterate as the citizens have reiterated at the local elections and that they will not be against – said Grubi.
