"My position has been and remains principled and unwavering: The KLA's war in Kosovo, in Presevo, and in Macedonia has been just, reasonable, and clean!" This is what the Deputy Prime Minister of North Macedonia, Izet Mexhiti, said a few days ago in support of the protest held in Pristina against the Hague Tribunal.
This statement was opposed by the Prime Minister of the Republic of Macedonia, Hristian Mickoski. Asked by journalists, he said that “the war cannot be reasonable and just when members of the Ministry of Interior and the Ministry of Defense were insidiously killed in an ambush. At least not in Macedonia. I do not comment on neighbors,” said the Prime Minister of the Republic of Macedonia.
Mickoski called on “all reasonable politicians not to play the card of (the Albanian opposition party) DUI and those who want to take us back 25 years.” The Prime Minister assessed that in this country these topics are part of the past and that they have been closed with the Ohrid Framework Agreement of 2001, and with the recent amendments to the Law on Equal Representation, which is in the Venice Commission.
The DUI thinks otherwise, according to which Mickoski's statement is unacceptable.
"The Prime Minister's statement on the KLA War is a direct insult to Albanians and to the just history of democracy in the country. The National Liberation Army's war was just, sacred and decisive for the democratization of the state, for the return of peace, for the equal treatment of all communities and for the achievement of the Ohrid Peace Agreement, an agreement that the Prime Minister himself is attacking today, both with his political platform and with his daily governance practices," the statement of the party led by Ali Ahmeti reads.
