An ethnic Albanian party in Macedonia has decided to rejoin the coalition government after quitting 10 days ago, restoring political stability in the country, reports from Skopje said Monday.
Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski and President of the Democratic Party of Albanians (DPA) Menduh Thaci have agreed to deal with the party's demands for wider rights for the country's 25 percent Albanian minority.
With the DPA's return, the coalition has regained its parliamentary majority. The party quit the government in a row over minority rights.
The DPA demands wider use of the Albanian language, the Albanian flag and more work places for the minority in public enterprises.
It also demands Macedonia recognize Kosovo, whose ethnic Albanian majority declared independence from Serbia last month. Source:Xinhua
