THE INDEPENDENCE OF MACEDONIA HAPPENED WITHOUT EXPLAINING WELL THE POSITION OF ALBANIAN ETHNICITY
Abstract
In Macedonia lacks scientific efforts to elucidate the right of Albanians for a constituent status in the constitutional level, supporting him in the historical background and taking into account the real demographic interethnic structure in this republic. Indeed, the Krusevo Republic (1903) presents the direct source for Albanians statebuilding since they were introduced in the state subject and constituent element. The effort made for the progress of the position of Albanians in the republic with the constitutional solutions of 1974 did not appear in practice and was not even close in accordance with the principles proclaimed neither constitutional nor standards of international law. Even Macedonia's declaration of independence happened without a clarified position of the Albanian ethnicity and his participation in the constitutional system of this country, without being defined within the premises and reports within the new social formation. In this way, the Macedonian Constitution of 1991 became the basic generator of the crisis on the Macedonian-Albanian relations, due to denigrating constitutional and legal position of Albanians in it, in particular because of their treatment as a national minority. Ohrid Agreement which arose as a result of Macedonian-Albanian conflict, not promoted Albanian as autochthonous, with significant demographic features of their number and high concentration and broad-ethnic and common life in the republic and, on this basis, conserved for them a denigrating status of "national minority", even "without mentioning anything", except within "communities" that are "multi-ethnic state", even though Albanians, in fact, constitute most prominent ethnic group to which increased awareness that he is a political subject as completely equal to the Macedonian people, has the right to be the bearer of sovereignty and state-building, so that the Ohrid Agreement not eliminated the underlying cause of the crisis in Macedonia - the treatment of Albanians as a minority.
