Albanian students blocked border with Macedonia, not allowed to enter

A bus of Albanian students has not been allowed to cross the border with northern Macedonia at the Blerta customs point in Debar, A2 CNN reports.
Macedonian authorities have offered no explanation for their decision. This Tuesday, Albanian students in Northern Macedonia will hold the next protest to demand the right to hold Albanian-language exams. For the organisation, students have met with each other in Kumanovo, Tetovo, Struga and Skopje. It all started with the request of law students to give the exam in their native language, a request that after two years has not been resolved. Their right is a constitutional right, stemming from the Ohrid Agreement, but which politics is not taking care of.
Their action takes on an even deeper political meaning, raising discussion about the dignified representation of Albanians in a country where they are the official element, even at a time when there are V Albanians in co-governance. LEN.
