Skopje, 9 August 2021 (MIA) – First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Political Systems Artan Grubi on Monday handed over the original document of the Ohrid Framework Agreement, signed by the seven signatories, to the State Archive. Grubi said that the document “is finally where it belongs after 20 years.” “Each year, media reported that the Ohrid Agreement was missing, so our entire ministry was trying to find it this year, the document signed by five of our signees and two foreigners, James Purdue and François Léotard,” Grubi told reporters after the State Archive visit. Grubi said that the Agreement will be archived and preserved being “one of the key documents for our country.” “In accordance with the Ohrid Agreement, the Constitution was amended in 2001. The Agreement was incorporated in the Constitution and is being implemented every day,” Grubi said adding the most adequate place for this document is the State Archive. State Archive Director Emil Krsteski underscored the significance of the institution in preserving important documents about the history, culture and tradition, starting from the 13^th century, which is when the oldest document is dated. “The original Ohrid Agreement document is an important agreement for our country, and one of the documents from recent history that offers huge perspectives for development in every view. The original document will be preserved, digitalized, and it will be transparent and available for everyone who is interested in history and the agreement’s details. It will be preserved according to all European standards applied by state archives,” Krsteski told reporters. dk/ba/
