A bus carrying Albanian students has been denied entry into North Macedonia through the Bllata border crossing in Debar. So far, Macedonian authorities have not provided any explanation for the reasons for this decision.
The incident comes on the eve of another protest by Albanian students in North Macedonia, scheduled for this Tuesday. They are demanding the implementation of the right to conduct university exams in the Albanian language.
To coordinate the protest, students have held meetings in several cities, including Kumanovo, Tetovo, Struga and Skopje. The reaction initially started with students of the Faculty of Law, who have been demanding for two years to take exams in their native language, without yet receiving an institutional response.
Their request is related to rights provided for in the Constitution and obligations stemming from the Ohrid Agreement. The issue has also opened a debate on the political representation of Albanians in North Macedonia, at a time when Albanian parties are part of the government.
The first protest was held on April 6 in Skopje and ended in front of the Ministry of Justice. After that protest, students say there have been no concrete steps from institutions to address their demands.
