The Democratic party leader, Lulzim Basha, met this Wednesday with the Deputy Prime Minister of Macedonia, Bujar Osmani.
Basha congratulated the official about the recent advancement with the rights of Albanians in Macedonia, such as the usage of Albanian as second official language, as a sign of emancipation of the Macedonian society and unification of the Albanian factor.
“2018 could be even more important for liberating the region from crime, corruption and autocratic governments”, Basha said.
The opposition leader said that the main challenges with the European integration remain the fulfillment of the basic Copenhagen criteria, such as free elections and independent judiciary.
“This is why for Albania it is very important to win over the organized crime who have ties with the government, which has turned into a major threat for democracy and the welfare of citizens, and into an obstacle for our advancement towards EU”, Basha underlined.
