The Democratic Union for Integration categorically denies some opinions that the student protest announced on November 18, for the jurisprudence exam to be held in Albanian, is being politicized by this party. This is confirmed by the Secretary General of the DUI, Arbër Ademi. In the show "Debat në Shenja", he harshly criticized the VALEN party, saying that according to him, they are spreading disinformation in the public, for the sole reason, as he said, to cover their shame for not participating in the protest.

"Why from DUI?, Mr. Taravari's ASH is also participating there, as well as Ziadin Sela's ASH and the SDSM. The DP and the SP in Albania have united today, you have the position of Mr. Tabaku, you have the position of Mr. Pandeli Majko, of journalist Marim Mema, you have Enver Hoxha of PDK Kosovo, you have Daut Haradinaj of AAK, that is, all parties in all Albanian lands are uniting, but these are the ones who need to get permission, and that permission cannot be obtained for sure from Stoilkovic, from Prime Minister Mickoski, from Filkov, how can these people cover up their non-participation, it is being politicized, no more, sir, the invitation is for you too, language should not divide us", said Ademi.

Despite statements by exponents of the VALEN coalition, including the Prime Minister of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, that the Albanian language in North Macedonia is not official, Ademi insists that the Albanian language is official and that, according to him, this law was voted in 2019 under extraordinary circumstances.

"When we are at VLEN, we have political representatives at VLEN who have called this language, our dear mother tongue, official, today they say, no it is not official, there are representatives of VLEN who say it is not an official language, but it is a translated language, there are representatives of VLEN who say it is not official, but it is potentially official, tell me, do they expect a coup with a country, let them sit down and agree, because they have supposedly now become a party," said Ademi.

Arbër Ademi said that if DUI has a great political capital after reaching the Ohrid Agreement, it is the adoption of the Law on the Albanian Language, while regarding the declarations of the Prime Minister of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, when he said that the Albanian language is not official, Ademi said that he was seriously mistaken and that he should apologize to the Albanians in North Macedonia.
