    Albania passes census law

    Albania passes census law

    Tirana, 8 July 2011 (MIA) - Albanian MPs passed late Thursday the Law on Census of population and households, due to be implemented in October, MIA reports from Tirana.

    The law was adopted in the absence of the opposition socialists, who boycott the Parliament due to events over the elections of Tirana mayor.

    Minister for Innovation and ICT Genc Pollo, who is also president of the State Census Commission, said the law met all European standards.

    "Albanian citizens will be able to freely express their ethnic and religious affiliation and mother tongue. However, they are not forced to answer these sensitive questions", added Polo.

    Representatives of Macedonians in Albania say the law's adoption is good from a political standpoint, but they do not believe in its realistic implementation, as do other minorities, taking into consideration the intimidation and pressure by state institutions, political parties and several NGOs.

    "We will do everything to to convince Macedonians they should not be afraid to declare what they are, since this is the only way to prove our number. Thus, we would require fulfillment of our legitimate rights as loyal citizens of Albania", said Vasil Sterjovski of the Macedonian Party.

    According to him, efforts will focus on meeting the joint request with other minorities over the engagement of census takers from the minorities, as well as members of minorities in municipal census commissions

      Yet light-years behind Macedonia - and I am not talking about the FA but rather the fact that Macedonia recognises ALL of its minorities.
      In the name of the blood and the sun, the dagger and the gun, Christ protect this soldier, a lion and a Macedonian.

          Droog does your name mean "other".
