With 9 votes voting “yes” the Law for the use of languages passed the Commission for European Affairs

The Law for the use of languages has passed its first reading at the Parliamentary Commission for European Affairs. With 9 votes “for” and none “against” or “abstinent” out of 18 members, the MPs have accepted the conclusion that the law is acceptable from the aspect of its adjustment with the EU’s legislative and that it has to be submitted for another reading.

VMRO-DPMNE’s MP, Antonio Miloshoski, has asked instead of this Commission, the bill to be discussed by the Commission for a political system as a registry body.

-This Commission is not a registry body. The bill has to be discussed by the Commission that is presided by Aleksandar Kiracovski, SDSM’s General Secretary. Let’s hear his opinion and let’s hear the opinion of the Commission in order to discuss more closely about what the government is imposing on us and wants it to pass in three days – said Miloshoski.

The President of the Commission for European Affairs, Artan Grubi, replied that according to the Rule Book, the President of the Parliament is the one who determines the registry body and has rejected his request.
