Albanian MP in Serbia’s Parliament, Shaip Kamberi, has spoken of the expectations and demands of Albanians in the Presevo Valley towards new powers in Serbia, stressing that changing the approach to them should be witnessed through concrete actions.
In his response to the Signal Journal, Kamberi has said Albanians expect equality before the law, respect of national identity and the possibility of equal representation in state institutions.
He has stressed that long-term experience makes Albanians cautious of political promises, as the problems they face continue to remain unresolved.
Among the main concerns, Kamberi has cited the equipment of addresses, sub-representation in state institutions, non-recognition of diplomas won in Kosovo, difficulties in education and official use of Albanian language, as well as lack of investment and economic perspective.
He has stressed that Albanians will not prejudge the new power, but will neither give confidence without seeing concrete results.
As far as the requirements are concerned, Kamberi has listed implementation of the 2013 seven-point Plan and the 2022 Action Plan, the ban on applying addresses, proportional representation in police, judiciary and administration, and resolving the issue of Kosovo diplomas.
He has also called for respect for Albanian educational rights, language and national symbols, as well as investments in the economic development of Presevo, Bujanoc and Medvedja.
Kamberi has announced that they are open to dialogue and institutional co-operation, but has stressed that this does not mean giving up the rights of Albanians.
Albanians do not need new promises, but a new policy of responsibility and implementation of previous obligations has declared Kamberi.
He has added that the integration of Albanians into Serbia’s institutions should not mean assimilation or giving up national identity.
The signal where the truth speaks before the news!
