17 years from Ohrid Agreement

The agreement is built on five fundamental principles, which were associated with constitutional changes, which confirmed the multiethnic Macedonian society and were sanctioned that Albanians are statehood.

The Framework Agreement aimed at the peaceful and harmonious development of Macedonian society while simultaneously respecting the ethnic identity and interests of all Macedonian citizens.

This was guaranteed through its content, where decentralisation was among the main points, as it provided their rule by the largest community of population that makes up it.

The Ohrid Agreement forces central government authorities to guarantee fair representation and not discrimination.” Reflected in the law, the agreement's provision required that fair representation of communities in all central and local public organs and at all employment levels in these organs be provided in public administrations.

Representatives of the Constitutional Court are required to be made on the proportion of representation in the Assembly according to ethnicities. Albanians who make up over 30 % of the Macedonian population through the Ohrid Agreement were guaranteed the right to use as an official language, along with the Macedonian and Albanian language. National symbols too.
