VMRO-DPMNE coalition partner DUI will give two Vice-Premiers - for European Affairs; Framework Agreement Implementation - Teuta Arifi and Musa Xhaferi respectively.

Here is an article relating to Musa Xhaferi, not sure of the date:

http://www.shkoder.net/fjala/naac/naac4.htm 

Mr. Xhaferi, who has spent roughly 20 years studying and living abroad, hails from Ali Ahmeti’s Democratic Union for Integration which is largely made up by members of the now disbanded National Liberation Army (NLA). Speaking of a new era for the Albanians in Macedonia, he emphasized that finally the Albanians population there will no longer allow to be treated as second class citizens.............

The Deputy Prime Minister echoed his party’s resolve to “take the processes all the way to the end”. Stating that in the past the Albanians in Macedonia were subjected to grave injustices, which according to him became a catalyst in bringing about the military struggle, Mr. Xhaferi stressed that positive change has been very slow.............

An individual with links to terrorists who basically justifies the raising of arms against his own country - based on lies. And he is also the one in charge of the Framework Agreement Implementation! Great choice, Mr. Gruevski. Keep building this plastic 'bi-lingual' nation. You still have the support of a lot of deluded 'patriots'.

Why not just call it the anti macedonian party destroy everything until there is no more.
What a joke who would've thought it could get so low.We are always compromising & giving in why???

What rights have they got erroding our rights for themselves.THese are rights to do anything set up their own military against us,their own police against us,their own passports.I think enough is enough perhaps a ctizen militia should be started to fight the albanian insurgence that is sure to happen.The albanians are not giving in they want more & more at our expense.Ar we going to let them have our country/??

SoM,

Your link discusses the NAAC. I understand that UMD has links with them.

[Daniel the Great]

What is next with Gruevski and his incompetent Macedonian government? maybe his next step will be inviting the Albanian terrorists at his home for dinner, or maybe allowing the Albanians in Tetovo to gain independence from Macedonia. Se sto e mozno so budali lugje.

[George S.]

That's right dtg gruevski is getting intimate as he is scared of them like a bunny rabitt.He is allowing them yo get away with murder & surrendering any vestible or last essence of soveregnity to the albanians.THey are using him more than he realisez for little gain for the macedonian cause.

SoM,

Are you referring to the below statement made by Rogi some time back, after the UMD announced that in 2001, Albanian extremists attacked Macedonian police officers and burned villages, demanding more rights in education, employment, and political representation - making it out like the terrorists were justified in the actions, and that they didn't have adequate rights in education, employment and political representation?

But this quote was written to be politically correct, so as not to harm relations with the National Albanian American Council (NAAC), a relationship which was 'recommended' by highly placed contacts (in fact it was a suggestion of the State Department, as well as the UK Mission to the UN), and the opportunity for some 'joint PR'.

What should be noted is the average age of the new government is in thier 30s

[DedoAleko]

Strong Far-Right wing,consolidated by (hardcore-real) Macedonians, is the only solution-SIMPLE AS THAT!

That and they have been mentioned in at least one UMD press release. But my sources tell me that they have a close relationship.

We do have strong far-right wing parties, but they are always called extremists.

[Soldier of Macedon]

DCH, I don't think the right-leaning parties market themselves well enough. The question is - why not? What is stopping people like Strasho from going to villages, towns and cities to express his views, discuss his policies, and rally support? What was stopping Todor Petrov from forming his own party and doing the same, before he admitted his support for Gruevski, like so many other lackeys?

[DirtyCodingHabitz]

I'm guessing that he doesn't have the money like our "patriots" do. But you're nothing if you never get invited on the news.

[Zarni]

Vangelevski this is just a question what made you move away from the UMD, werent you onçe on of the founding members of the UMD who put a great effort into this org once
