The Constitutional Court in Macedonia will decide in September whether to uphold or repeal the Law on Language. If the latter happens, the Albanian language will not be the second official language in Skopje.
The President of the Constitutional Court, Darko Kostadinovski, has announced the initiation of an initiative against the Albanian language. He said that "with the law on the use of languages, politics has created a legal chaos that resulted in political chaos".
" With the law on the use of languages, politics has created a legal chaos that resulted in political chaos, mistrust and dilemmas ," said Kostadinovski. In anticipation of whether the Constitution will abolish or leave the law on languages in force, Kostadinovski says that the court will bring a well-argued decision with a juridical-constitutional basis.
" What is important is to see the objective arguments in the decision, whatever it may be, before giving any comments. The decision of the Court should be respected and accepted as an expression of the maturity of politics and society, the decision should be a guiding framework for the action of the legislator" , he added.
Kostadinovski emphasizes that the implementation of the law on languages is creating problems, without specifying what problems, but alluding to the remarks that came out of the Venice commission. And in order to prevent this from happening, from September 1 the new court act comes into force, which foresees a time limit of six months for the Government to improve the law on languages, respectively to remove the observed remarks and dilemmas.
After the statement of the head of the Constitutional Court, Kostadinovski, came the reactions of the Albanian political factor.
The VLEN coalition, the Albanian parties in co-governance with VMRO have considered the initiative to challenge bilingualism as an attempt at a coup d'état. A strong reaction has also come from the European Front, the coalition of Albanian opposition parties consisting of DUI and the Alliance for Albanians, who call for the Albanian language not to be affected.
On the other hand, the Agency for the Implementation of the Law on Minority Languages has stated that "such initiatives are blatantly political, nationalist and anti-human".
"Albanian language belongs to Albanians and does not endanger anyone. The tendency to exclude Albanian from official use is an old idea which, as we know, has produced tensions and conflicts" .
