“It’s necessary for an electronic census process to be held next year so that it is seen what specifically we have at our disposal”, PM Hristijan Mickoski said on Wednesday.
As he noted, the process mustn’t be a political topic because accurate figures are needed to create future plans. The same day, Public Administration Minister Goran Mincev stated that the Balancer tool hadn’t been legal.
The new draft-law concerning representation has been approved by the Government and will be submitted first to the Venice Commission and then to Parliament.
When it comes to VLEN, it, citing serious doubts over political deals and falsification of the 2021 census results, has submitted a criminal charge before the Prosecutor’s Office against the former management of the Statistics Office and other responsible and managerial persons who were at the top of the previous cabinet, led by SDSM and DUI.
On the other hand, Ali Ahmeti’s party has fiercely criticised the stands on a potential e-census.
“it’s about a nationalist agenda aiming to exclude Albanians from institutions and the system”, it added.
