DUI President Ali Ahmeti said Wednesday in Cair that he does not want the issue of the Law on Languages to be politicized and used for the election campaign. According to him, this law was adopted by consensus, had a great deal of debate, and is a law that derives from the Ohrid Agreement.

The law as a document is backed by Europe, the United States, NATO and certainly the Venice Commission, as material, is sent for opinion and we appreciate the Venice Commission’s opinions, but as a matter of high category, as the Venice Commission addresses issues related to the rights of minorities, while the Law on the Use of Languages ​​derives from an agreement with international guarantees, it is a law that derives from the very Constitution of the Republic of Macedonia. This debate was not easy, and lasted from 2003 until it was voted, two years ago, Ahmeti said.

He also said that Deputy Prime Minister Bujar Osmani was taken out of context when he said any opening of the Law on Languages would take us back to 2001.

According to him, he said that we should not repeat what happened in the past.

If we go back to the past we will not know how to build our future, the future is created not by forgetting the past, but by investing in the future so that it will never happen again, Ahmeti said.
