Kumanovo Mayor and ZNAM leader Maksim Dimitrievski put the Albanian flag on the municipal building today, following numerous reactions from VLEN over his opposition to holding the bar exam in Albanian as well.
The debate began after Dimitrievski said in recent days that ZNAM would leave the government if the bar exam were held in a language other than Macedonian. His statements sparked strong public reaction.

VLEN representatives publicly opposed his statements. VLEN co-chair Izet Mexhiti reminded Dimitrievski that Kumanovo Municipality operates in two languages and asked him to resign as mayor if he was obstructing the use of Albanian.
The decision to put the Albanian flag on Kumanovo’s municipal building came amid intense political clashes over language rights, following statements by the ZNAM leader and VLEN’s reactions.
