Gjorge Ivanov, Macedonian President, stated he will not sign the law passed Thursday in Parliament aimed at making Albanian the second official language in Macedonia. A draft law making the Albanian the country’s second official language was voted in the Macedonian Parliament with 69 votes pro. The previous law, created by a 2001 peace agreement, ensured the official use of the Albanian language in the communities where the minority is more than 20% of the population. According to Ivanov, the new law is against the Macedonian Constitution, adding that “the co-existence in Macedonia is possible if we will not adopt laws that only go in favor of the Albanians”.
