SKOPJE, April 8 (Xinhua) -- Macedonian Prime Minister Zoran Zaev commented on the media on Sunday that the Law on Languages in Macedonia represents the fulfillment of Ohrid Framework Agreement and will relax inter-ethnic relations.
Zaev made this statement while answering the opposition's criticism for the process of adopting the law.
According to Zaev, the law on languages in Macedonia does not present any pain.
The ruling party SDSM in Macedonia decided to adopt the languages law despite the rejection of President Gjorge Ivanov to sign it and the attempt of the opposition VMRO-DPMNE party to obstruct it by submitting amendments.
According to the Macedonian government, the Law on Use of Languages stems from amendment 5 from the Constitution of Macedonia and the Ohrid Framework Agreement and that by its adoption, the implementation of the political agreement adopted 17 years ago, will be completed.
The Law on Use of Languages would extend the official use of Albanian language to the entire country.
