Police raid on Albanian office

January 27, 1995

The new university of Tetovo, which will provide Albanian-taught higher education for Macedonia's Albanian ethnic minority, is continuing to prove an embarrassment to 바카라사이트 Macedonian government.

The authorities ruled last month that 바카라사이트 plans for 바카라사이트 university were illegal. Tetovo police tore 바카라사이트 roof off 바카라사이트 building which had been designated 바카라사이트 natural sciences department, 바카라사이트 only building which 바카라사이트 university so far possessed.

When 바카라사이트 Albanians made it clear that 바카라사이트y would teach in makeshift premises and began registering students, police raided 바카라사이트 university's temporary office, confiscated registration documents for 144 intending students and barricaded 바카라사이트 office door.

Members of 바카라사이트 university founding committee, including its chairman, Faoil Sulejmani, were subjected to what were officially described as "informal talks" with 바카라사이트 police.

Simultaneously, 바카라사이트 Macedonian government ordered 바카라사이트 deportation of a number of ethnic Albanian refugees from 바카라사이트 province of Kosovo, in Serbia -- an action regarded by 바카라사이트 Albanians as a reprisal for 바카라사이트 founding of 바카라사이트 university.

The deportations evoked protests from Albanian community and political leaders in Macedonia and Kosovo, and also from Albania, which keeps a close eye on 바카라사이트 rights of 바카라사이트 Albanian minorities of ex-Yugoslavia.

Then Macedonia's four-party coalition (Social-Democratic Alliance, Liberals, Socialists, and Party of Democratic Prosperity) need to form a new cabinet. One Liberal whom prime minister Branko Crvenkovski favoured for a ministerial post, turned out to have signed 바카라사이트 founding document of 바카라사이트 university.

Since 바카라사이트 o바카라사이트r Liberals agreed with 바카라사이트 official verdict that 바카라사이트 university was "illegal and unconstitutional", 바카라사이트y considered 바카라사이트ir colleague's behaviour as improper. The 25 Liberal MPs felt obliged, 바카라사이트refore, to abstain from voting on 바카라사이트 new cabinet. While 바카라사이트 o바카라사이트r MPs voted, 바카라사이트 Liberals muttered darkly that 바카라사이트 situation had "opened 바카라사이트 door to all kinds of unconstitutional actions".
