[QUOTE=George S.;118291]whatever happened to the idea that the albanians wanted their own passports.Maybe someone had the decency to say no.[/QUOTE]

Their own passports in what way? As far as I know, any minority can specially request to have their language added to the required Macedonian/English on the passports.

Pro MK the albanians wanted their own albanian passports similar to ones like saying macedonian passports.They wanted their own with albania written on them how ridiculous.Now that they are in i thought maybe they might request them.In other words they want a country within a country.There was a time when they wanted to issue their own passports.THe authorities saw the good sense to say no.

Is that standard practice in other countries?

You can't compare Macedonia to other countries.
Macedonia is unique in that it it is a country but it can't self-determine anything.

Nothing to be proud of and non-Macedonians couldn't care less. Most Macedonians in Macedonia couldn't care less as well.

ДУИ ќе бара пари од владата за одбележување на јубилејни датуми од историјата на Албанија. Прославата на 100 годишнината од албанското знаме и независноста на соседната држава ќе почне утре, со поставувањето на камен темелник на плоштадот Скендер бег во Скопје, а во координација со владите на Албанија и Косово, речиси половина година ќе се организираат и бројни семинари, конференции, собири и поетски читања.

-Уште на правиме програмата, кога ќе биде готова, ќе го направиме и финансискиот план, ќе побараме финансиски средства од владата, изјави вицепремиерот Муса Џафери.

Заедно со Ахмети, утре лопата ќе фрли и градоначалникот на Тирана, Љујзим Баша. Лидерот на ДУИ најави дека ќе бара денот на албанското знаме да биде прогласен за празник на албанската заедница во Македонија.

What a wonderful country Macedonia is to allow its minorities to celebrate their ethnic identities. Where else in the world will you see another nation's flag feature more prominently than the host nation? Where else would you see the minority rights exceed that of the majority? Only in Eurodonia. I'm starting to believe the Eurodonians deserve everything they vote (or don't vote) for.

[B]Where are all the Macedonians from the Basketball celebrations to teach these Albanian extremists a lesson? What, we are going to defend a country against separatists by painting our faces and cheering at Eurobasket games? [/B]
