The Ministry of Justice of North Macedonia has responded to protests by Albanian students demanding that the Jurisprudence exam be offered in the Albanian language.
According to the ministry, the jurisprudence exam is conducted in accordance with existing law.
“This is a professional exam that does not constitute an administrative procedure but serves as a mechanism to ensure quality and professionalism within the legal system. The Ministry of Justice remains open to constructive dialogue and carefully considers initiatives and proposals within its legal competencies,” the statement said.
The ministry, led by Igor Fillkov, also criticized the absence of state symbols during the students’ protest and expressed concern over the involvement of an opposition party in the demonstrations, suggesting potential political instrumentalization and the use of ethnic rhetoric for specific purposes.
