Xhaferi: Albanian language, in January, expected to be voted

Seven months after the largest political crisis in Macedonia and the attack on Parliament, Macedonia's chief parliamentman Talat Xhaferi comes to Top Story.

What happened on the night of April 27? What was the role of Tirana, Washington and Moscow in events that saw the first physical clashes? The Albanian platform, how much is being implemented and can it be called Zaev a partner or a favourable one of Albanians in Macedonia? Skopje's roadway with Athens and will the former Yugoslav republic have a name for it, or will it again endanger the division?

For these and more at Top Story answers Macedonia's most powerful Albanian, Talat Xhaferi.

The election of the first prime parliament in Macedonia with Albanian origin passed without problems, and of course the remaining ones in everyone's mind is the offensive of protesters in Parliament's environments, April 27th of this year

The comments will show what happened that day. The life of all Albanian deputies was at stake. Citizens' entry could jeopardise security throughout Macedonia”, Talat Xhaferi points out, noting that this incident could provoke an ethnic war.

Regarding recent clashes in the Albanian Assembly, not a bit like Skopje on April 27th of this year, Talat Xhaferi noted that Albanians in Macedonia, but also those living in other states do not welcome and do not want these situations.

The Albanian's “reaction in Macedonia in this case is that they do not accept such an act. Their expectations are for institutions to be functional”, Talat Xhaferi says.

Next, Xhaferi has stopped at the space left to the opposition party in Macedonia, V MRO-DPNE's, to create its new interior institutions.

“Pres December 23rd to find out who will be VMRO-DPNE's new leader. The best job we have done is to host the interior elections of this party, on key issues”, he said.

The LSDM in recent elections ran many Albanians, even in the force of this party there is an Albanian deputy chairman, raising a question of whether this is a normal course, or a failure of Albanian parties. For Talat Xhaferi, it will have to wait for the upcoming elections to determine what the real cause is.

As for Zaev's promises, Xhaferi said the Albanian-language law is expected to be the first test.

The Albanian Language Law is expected to be the first test on Zaev's promises. It may also be by the end of this year, but within January the Albanian-language law” is expected to be adopted, Talat Xhaferi said.
