Opposition leaders also extended greetings. SDSM leader Venko Filipce said in his greetings that the state does not belong to the political parties, but to the citizens.

DUI leader Ali Ahmeti also extended his congratulations, adding that Albanians were excluded from the process of declaring independence in 1991, but their exclusion has ended in 2001 with OFA, something that, according to Ahmeti, opened the country’s road towards progress and prosperity, and integration in NATO and EU.
