The largest party representing North Macedonia's ethnic Albanian minority offered to pull its ministers from the government to meet a demand from the opposition to clear the way for European Union membership talks.
The Democratic Union for Integration said the resignations of its ministers would come into effect only if the main opposition nationalist VMRO-DPMNE votes for constitutional changes to recognise a Bulgarian minority, as demanded by Bulgaria to allow the country to join the EU.
Bulgarians and ethnic Macedonians speak similar languages, and both communities are highly sensitive about laws recognising them as distinct nationalities. "Conscious of the hopes and goals/dreams of citizens to one day become part of the big European family, ..., we, the ministers and government officials from the ranks of the Democratic Union for Integration, resign from the functions we currently carry out," the DUI said in a letter to Prime Minister Dimitar Kovacevski published by local media.
