Xhaferi could decree the language law like Tito Petkovski in 1997

After the Law of Languages was adopted in the Parliament of the Republic of Macedonia in third reading, the decree of the same following the adoption under the Constitution and laws is obliged to immediately sign the president of the state and the same be declared in the Official Journal, Journal writes.

Even so, according to the Constitution, President Gjorge Ivanov refuses to sign the law in question, and dilemmas arise from here, what the fate of the law adopted by majority deputies' votes will be.

In such a situation has been the parliamentary composition in 1997, then Parliament Speaker Tito Petkovski has been in a situation similar to this in which there is today Parliament Speaker Talat Xhaferi and has had to sign the decree himself for a law that, due to lack, Macedonia's then president, Kiro Gligorov.

It's a no.08-2308/1 decree. 08-July-1997, the official JM journal No.32/1997, which has to do with announcing the Law to use flags through which members of nationalities in the Republic of Macedonia demonstrate their own identity and national properties. This decree was signed five minutes before July 8, 1997, while early in the morning it was published in the Official Guard to carry out state crime on July 9th in Gostivar.

So that night, the head of state “under plan” was traveling officials abroad and the head of the Parliament in the decree as a reason is imposing paragraph 3 on Article 82 of the Constitution, when the head of state is barred from carrying out the task. However, along with the law in question, even this decree following initiatives at the Constitutional Court against this law (including them VMRO- DPMNE) were canceled by the Constitutional Court with ruling No.141/97 and No.146/97 as unconstitutional”, says Journal, Beingan Aliu, jurist.

He stresses that according to the precedents with which some Macedonian experts reason on the president's decision not to sign the decree now for proclaiming the Law for the use of languages, this is a precedent for which these Macedonian experts will have to reason on an eventual action by Parliament Speaker Talat Xhaferi.

Contrary to the fact that, by this precedent, Albanians were brutally murdered and brutally beaten in Gostivar, it is now a case in which the country's president refuses to implement the constitutional explosives. The law at this stage can in no way go back, the system must function, the law must be announced, and then there is another question of how the Constitutional Court will assess, even though a epilogue can be rendered, because things have been complicated, I am very convinced that complications have been done with a synchronization of protagonists”, Aliu points out.

According to him, this is a moment that Macedonia needs a new constitution, on the contrary, unless the constitutional constitutional dean is sanctioned, then each president will be able to misuse absolute veto (unless veto) and the rights of Albanians remain enthralled in the veto of his own pocket.
