Refugees: Ohrid Agreement
Implementations
Refugees – 2001
The parliamentary debate on peace agreement was halted on issues related to refugees in early September 2002. Nationalist politicians were complaining that ethnic Albanian rebels were blocking the reparations of Slav refugees. As a matter of fact, the speaker of the assembly “adjourned the debate after demanding new conditions for the return of the estimated 125,000 Macedonian Slav refugees mainly from Kosovo.”[fn]”Macedonia resumes peace debate,” CNN.com, September 2, 2001.[/efn_note]
