The President of North Macedonia, Gordana Silanovska-Davkova, has exercised her first veto, since the election at the head of the state, in May of last year, by not decreeing the Law on the protection of children, which, among other things, stipulated that the licenses for the caretakers of daycare centers should be in the Albanian language, in addition to the Macedonian language.
In a statement to the media on Tuesday, she emphasized that the veto decision does not aim "to insult any language, or to follow party advice", but according to her, "to encourage the revision of some provisions of the aforementioned law, especially articles 9 and 10".
With these two articles, the law provides that, in addition to the Macedonian language, the language spoken by 20 percent of the citizens should also be included in the licenses.
On the other hand, the Macedonian Prime Minister, Hristijan Mickoski, assured that the provisions disputed by the president will be corrected, and the same will be returned for procedure in the Assembly.
"I think it is routine and formality. They will be corrected and will be in accordance with the Constitution and the Law on Languages, they will return to the parliamentary procedure and I expect the successful approval of this law", said Mickoski on Tuesday.
Mickoski recalled that the official language throughout the territory of the state is the Macedonian language, adding that those who wish for the forms for the exam and license to be issued in the Albanian language will have this right.
