The political representatives of the Albanian minority in Montenegro requested today to introduce the Albanian as an official language in this country.
"In the municipalities where the majority or a significant part of the population is comprised of members of the Albanian minority, the Albanian language should be used as a parallel official language to the one which is used throughout Montenegro", said Mehmed Bardi, the leader of the Democratic Alliance of Albanians (DSA) in Montenegro.
He requested a definition that Albanians are the largest minority in Montenegro, which have been living there for centuries, to be included in the Constitution.
DSA also proposed to define Montenegro in the first Paragraph of the Constitution as an independent state of all its citizens, autochthonous nations and autochthonous national minorities of Albanians and members of other peoples who live in Montenegro or are born there and live in other countries.
According to DSA's leader, a territorial division to regions and municipalities should be carried out in Montenegro.
Bardi also pointed out that the appearance of the Montenegro's state insignia should be designed so that they wouldn't irritate the non-Montenegrin population.
Hello Albanians!
Oh, and their other demand is that "According to Jim" has to be put back on the air.
LOL! ...and Eliza Dushku must win an Academy Award to offset the one that (Serb) Karl Malden won!
Actually they just want 20% of Karl Malden’s Oscar :-)
