Alliance for Albanians has reacted to ZNAM leader Dimitrievski’s stance that his party will not back down from its position that the Bar Exam must be taken exclusively in the Macedonian language because, as he said, it is an issue that transcends day-to-day political interests and directly affects the functioning of the judicial system and the constitutional order of the country. Alliance for Albanians said his comments were a futile attempt to boost his ratings.
SDSM, too, reacted. It pointed out that the Bar Exam was being pushed as a topic of alleged coalition friction, with the aim of creating an impression of tension, paving the way for early elections, and avoiding an admission that financial stability was jeopardized because of Alta Banka.
In response to the reactions, ZNAM said that when there were no arguments regarding the substance of the issues, what clearly remained were insults and attempts at political discreditation.
