Over 115 thousand Albanians registered in Presevo Valley

Turnout has been the decision of all political parties, gathering Albanians in the Valley. Albanian citizens, on the basis of preliminary results, say Serbia, now, must face the undeniable reality and meet fundamental human rights that it is knowingly denying to Albanians.

And since it's now a real picture of population registration, it's a good chance to ask that all institutions, which are attracted mainly to Presevo, but also by Bujanocy and Medvedja. And, in addition, other institutions, must be added to the state-level population number”, Zeyni Feyzullah noted.

“Based on the first results, this census number is extremely pleased, compared to the 2011 census, when there was flagrant violation of the registration of Albanians in the Presevo Valley”, Hamdi Kamberi said.

Now there are also those who are here and those who are not here, and the number is 105 thousand, and now Serbia must give us our rights”, said Jeton Rashiti

This number has always been real and this people live here, but Serbia should give us more rights, that it is not good to reduce, at all,”, said Isuf Hiseni

As a result of the boycott of registration by Albanians in 2011, official Serbia launched the campaign of leaving state institutions from the local level, especially in the Presevo municipality, removed the courts, reduced the number of advisers in the Albanian National Council Assembly, and launched the Albanians' atonement campaign from the civil registry.

Meanwhile, the current results are the best argument of the real number of Albanians living in this province, Albanian citizens in Presevo, Bujanoc and Medvedja say.
