SUBJECT: MACEDONIA:GUARANTORS OF FRAMEWORK AGREEMENT 
DELIVER ASSESSMENT OF ITS IMPLEMENTATION TO PM GRUEVSKI 
 
1. (SBU) Summary: On the 8th Anniversary of the signing of 
the Ohrid Framework Agreement (OFA) the principal officers of 
the four international entities that signed the OFA presented 
an assessment of its implementation to date to Prime Minister 
Nikola Gruevski.  The Principals cited education, 
decentralization, equitable ethnic representation, 
non-descrimination, and use of minority languages as areas 
for further implementation.  The PM was accompanied by Deputy 
Prime Minister for Implementation of the OFA Abdylaqim Ademi 
and Deputy Prime Minister for EU Integration Vasko Naumovski 
in the meeting.  All three were receptive to the review and 
admitted that additional efforts were necessary in the areas 
highlighted by the four Principals.(End Summary) 
 
----------- 
OFA Review 
----------- 
 
2. (SBU) In mid-June 2009, Ambassador Reeker, EU Special 
Representative Fouere, OSCE Spillover Mission HOM Ambassador 
Herrero and NATO HOM Commodore Gagashev-- who meet regularly 
as the Principal officers of the four international entities 
who signed the 2001 Ohrid Framework Agreement (OFA)-- decided 
to conduct a combined, informal evaluation of the OFA's 
implementation to date.  Following the evaluation the four 
Principals agreed to jointly present their findings and 
recommendations to Prime Minister Gruevski.  (Background- The 
OFA established a legal framework for improving interethnic 
relations in Macedonia in order to stabilize the country 
following the 2001 armed conflict between the ethnic Albanian 
National Liberation Army and the Macedonian government.) 
 
-------------------------- 
Five Areas for Improvement 
-------------------------- 
 
3. (SBU) The evaluation revealed five areas where 
shortcomings still exist in implementation of the OFA: 
disparities in the education system, decentralization of the 
Government, equitable representation of ethnic minorities in 
the public sector, non-discrimination policies, and the use 
of minority languages. The Principals agreed to divvy up the 
five areas and prepare detailed evaluations and 
recommendations within their missions to present to the PM. 
On August 13, the 8th Anniversary of the signing of the OFA, 
the Principals met with the PM, DPM for OFA Implementation 
Ademi and new DPM for EU Integration Naumovski to present the 
results. 
 
------------------------- 
Integration of Education 
------------------------- 
 
4. (SBU) The OSCE encouraged the PM to promote increased 
ethnic integration of the education system, noting a recent 
trend in the opposite direction at interethnic schools where 
problems and fights have occurred. OSCE Ambassador Herrero 
pointed to a four-year strategy for integrating education 
recently developed by the Office of the OSCE High 
Commissioner on National Minorities as a means for advancing 
this goal.  The Prime Minister and DPM Ademi both agreed that 
education should be used as a tool for integration and the 
recent trend of segregating schools in interethnic 
communities was detrimental to the end goal of improving 
interethnic relations in Macedonia.  DPM Ademi noted that the 
Ministry of Education was in the process of drafting its 
five-year action plan and said it should include strategies 
to increase positive multiethnic student interaction. 
 
------------------------------- 
Decentralization of Government 
------------------------------- 
 
5. (SBU) Citing significant under-funding of municipal 
governments and enormous disparities in funding among 
municipalities, Ambassador Reeker explained that 
decentralization of government finances was crucial to the 
OFA because it enabled local governments to more adequately 
fulfill their financial responsibilities and meet the needs 
of their citizens.  He also encouraged the PM to resolve 
ongoing issues with state versus municipal ownership of 
public lands, which has stifled development and investment in 
many municipalities.  The PM agreed that municipal funding 
was inadequate and said he had met with his Minister of 
Finance to discuss ways to increase municipal revenues.  He 
also noted that the Ministry of Transportation, with USAID 
support, was drafting legislation that would better regulate 
the use of state land by municipalities. Additionally, he 
emphasized that personnel who managed state construction land 
should be properly trained in construction land management to 
ensure the land is developed legally and efficiently. 
 
------------------------ 
Equitable Representation 
------------------------ 
 
6. (SBU) The EUSR pointed out that it was extremely difficult 
to make any sort of accurate assessment on levels of 
equitable representation of minority ethnic groups in the 
public sector due to a lack of accurate statistics.  The EUSR 
encouraged the PM and DPM Ademi to create a single, 
transparent and reliable system for collecting not just 
ethnic employment statistics but overall public sector 
employment figures as well, which at times are completely 
unavailable or unreliable when they exist.  The EUSR also 
emphasized the importance of merit based, non-politicized 
recruitment of ethnic minorities for public sector jobs and 
pointed out that smaller ethnic minorities, such as the Turks 
and the Roma, are often overlooked in ethnic minority 
recruitment.  DPM Ademi acknowledged that data collection was 
a particular challenge for his office and agreed with the 
need for a unified data collection database.  The PM 
suggested the establishment of a special commission, which 
would include the Ministry of Finance, to quantify the exact 
number of public employees.  DPM Ademi also noted that one of 
his office's primary goals was to increase the ethnic 
representation of smaller minority groups. 
 
------------------- 
Non-Discrimination 
------------------- 
 
7. (SBU) The Principals praised Macedonia for its 
achievements in non-discrimination, specifically noting the 
establishment of the Ombudsman's Office to protect human 
rights.  However, they pointed out that the country still 
lacked a clear and consistent anti-discrimination law and 
urged the Government to amend the Criminal Code to include 
hate crime provisions.  They also encouraged the Government 
to continue efforts to strengthen the role of the Ombudsman. 
The PM concurred that an anti-discrimination law was needed 
and claimed the Government intended to complete a draft law 
by August 30.  He also said he would welcome any suggestions 
from the international community on how to strengthen the 
Ombudsman's office. 
 
------------------------- 
Use of Minority Languages 
------------------------- 
 
8. (SBU) The Principals acknowledged that a significant step 
was taken with the adoption of the law on the use of minority 
languages last year, but noted that data on implementation of 
the law was limited and ethnic minority populations widely 
perceived implementation as lacking.  They also noted that 
the debate on the use of minority languages had recently 
risen to the fore again in Parliament.  Additionally, the 
Principals pointed out that to some extent, use of language 
is a matter of perception and the Government could greatly 
improve public perception by making small gestures, such as 
government officials using minority languages in portions of 
addresses to minority groups.  The PM agreed that the 
government should create a matrix for assessing the level of 
implementation of the law on language, especially in 
municipalities where a non-majority ethnicity comprised at 
least twenty percent of the population.  The PM and DPM Ademi 
asserted that they had made efforts to alleviate some of the 
debate surrounding the use of the Albanian language in 
Parliament but found it challenging to find enough qualified 
interpreters and translators to satisfy the needs of the 
Parliament and needed to improve training for the 
interpreters already working in Parliament.
