Former leader of PDP, Faton Aliti, thinks that our challenge is in that the reforms are not being implemented.

“We will understand each other better if we sit down and admit our mistakes, in the sense that conditions need to mature for us to more sincerely confide our concerns about what created the distrust among the people”, said Aliti in his speech At the conference “Perspectives 2019”, organized by CIVIL – Center for Freedom

In the context of interethnic relations, Aliti, through a personal example from the everyday life, spoke about the distrust among people from different ethnic communities, and emphasized that we must work on restoring the trust.

“We should have started with this approach back from 1991. We must understand the position of the fellow citizen”, he added.

“Only in this way, the society will be ready for the great European family. And certainly, those who influence the opinion making, have the greatest responsibility. It is not correct for the national aspirations of one group to be in the function of fulfilling only other national aspirations. We must find a way to interact with each other”, concluded Aliti.

At the conference #Perspectives 2019 introductory speeches were given by German Ambassador Thomas Gerberich, Minister of Labor and Social Policy, Mila Carovska, Prof. Mirjana Najcevska, Dzevdet Hajredini (former Finance Minister), Aleksandar Krzalovski (MCIC), Mersiha Smailovic (Legis), Koco Andonovski (LGBTI Support Center) and Faton Aliti.  Biljana Jordanovska, Dehran Muratov and Xhabir Deralla spoke from CIVIL.
