Languages are invaluable, education should not be politicized - US Ambassador

Skopje, Fevruary 3, 2010 (HIM)
To study languages is invaluable, education should not be politicized and you must focus on the future of young people, urged US Ambassador Philip Reeker after meeting Gostivar mayor Rufi Osmani on Tuesday. - I think that my embassy staffers, as well as international representatives to the country and the citizens of this country should speak the Macedonian language.

It would be favourable if they mastered other languages, stated Reeker when asked about current developments involving Macedonian language instruction as of first grade in Albanian classes. Amongst other things he stressed that he learnt the Macedonian language himself.

Reeker said he wasn’t informed whether Macedonia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs would send a verbal note to the US Embassy and the missions of OSCE, EU and NATO for using the word "state" instead of Macedonian language.

The mayor of Gostivar reiterated his stance that the decision on Macedonian language instruction as of first grade had no legal foundation. He requested the Government to put the decision on hold in order both sides to reach an acceptable agreement.

Reeker visited Gostivar to discuss opportunities for expanding the embassy’s cooperation with local authorities.
