The Democratic Union for Integration, through a statement, demands the resignation of the President of the Constitutional Court, Darko Kostadinovski.
DUI emphasizes that Kostadinovski's statements are unacceptable. Furthermore, as DUI says, in the last two years Kostadinovski has proven that the Constitutional Court has been transformed into a political tool to undermine every achievement stemming from the Ohrid Agreement.
Full DUI letter.
The Democratic Union for Integration reacts strongly to the scandalous and unacceptable statements of the President of the Constitutional Court of the Republic of North Macedonia, Darko Kostadinovski. With his positions yesterday and a series of decisions over the last two years, he has proven that this institution has become a political tool to undermine every achievement stemming from the Ohrid Agreement.
His statements on the issue of the “Safe City” project, according to which SMS messages should be sent only in Macedonian, while they can also be sent in English, but not in Albanian, constitute a blatant act of discrimination and a serious violation of the spirit and the very Constitution of the state. With this action, the President of the Constitutional Court not only exceeds his powers, but brutally interferes with the legal order and interethnic relations in the country.
Once again, it was proven that the Albanian and Turkish judges in this court were outvoted, bringing back practices that remind public opinion of the darkest times of the nineties.
DUI demands the immediate resignation of Darko Kostadinovski and every judge who shares the same discriminatory attitudes for these two years with a majority. Otherwise, from today onwards he will bear full responsibility for any consequences that may be produced in the plan of interethnic relations. We will act and demand responsibility for these attitudes, which are not accidental nor of today, but have been systematically built over the last two years.
His behavior represents the classic example of a party soldier who is willing to set an entire country on fire for narrow interests.
Therefore, we publicly ask:
Is it worth setting the country on fire just so your wife can be promoted from the basic court to the court of appeals?
Is it worth destroying the state and the Constitution just so that, after your mandate ends, you can find academic shelter as a professor at Goce Delchev University, while the doors of the University of Skopje are closed to you?
Do you sleep peacefully with all these violations stemming from the misuse of your official position?
Remember, Kostadinovski: you will answer for these actions – sooner or later, but you will answer.
VREDI, who are both helpless and voiceless, is also jointly responsible for these unconstitutional and illegal actions of Kostadinovski and the Constitutional Court itself. You will not be able to escape responsibility.
DUI remains committed to defending the constitutional order, equality and the spirit of coexistence in the country. Any attempt to violate these principles will receive the appropriate political and democratic response.
