Zaev, Sela Reach Agreement on Constitutional Changes

It took less than an hour to meet between Prime Minister Zoran Zaev and Alliance for Albanians Chairman Ziadin Sela to reach agreement on supporting constitutional changes.

After the Zaev meeting, it has been agreed to remove the word <x0] citizens living within the limits of” and to write down all communities living in the country.

Zaev also announced that the 36th amendment to the diaspora, which will include all communities, has been accepted.

Thus far, the amendment has been accepted, which thanks to the Alliance's deputies for Albanians, and Zijadin Sela, has been given in the form of amendment and is suggested in discs for the Preambula to remove the “section that live at the borders of Macedonia” so as not to be impressed that Albanians, Turks, Roma, Vlachs, are temporarily here. So this part is accepted. Today we also removed this section from the “citizens” because from technically the citizen part in the preamble is twice, and we thus create the feeling that we are all equal citizens before the Constitution and the state. As is the citizens of Macedonia, the Macedonian people and citizens as a part of the Albanian, Turkish people, etc., this section “citizens” is twice. We harmonised this part now and, before all else, I talk about equality among citizens and that the final formula will be Macedonia's “citizens, the Macedonian people, a part of the Albanian, Turkish people, Vlach etc., and”. It's about careful access when it comes to changing part of the Constitution, said Zoran Zaev, prime minister.

The ASH leader Ziadin Sela announced that they have reached agreement on the prembula, with what some words will be deleted in order to make no sense that someone here is temporary.

We have reached agreement and consensus with a very important issue where we are proud of how the ASH with our contribution has made at least the first sentence of the constitution preambles to abolish things and in the form of two categories citizens as well as citizens. In other words, there is the contribution and discussions we have made regarding the prembula to remove the part we live in, and today the share was also achieved, as well as citizens in the state” said Ziadin Sela, chairman ASH's.

The prime minister said he has rejected the Belgrade Movement's request for Albanian to be the second official language in Macedonia.

So far, the government has accepted the amendments of eight deputies from the independent VMRO-led parliamentary group. DPMNE. . Periscope
