Beriša stated that the Ministry is fully committed to improving the institutional framework and ensuring consistent implementation of the law, with the aim of creating an environment of trust and equality for all citizens, regardless of their national affiliation.
Among other topics, the meeting addressed the situation and status of members of the Albanian national minority in the municipalities of Preševo, Bujanovac and Medveđa, as well as the importance of continuous communication between state authorities and national councils.
The Minister highlighted the concerning fact that the National Council of the Albanian National Minority consistently refuses any form of dialogue or cooperation with the line ministry.
