Eventually, armed clashes erupted in the spring of 2001 between Macedonian security forces and a formerly unknown group, the National Liberation Army (NLA—in Albanian, the group's acronym is identical to that used by the guerrilla group that had fought Serbian forces in Kosovo two years earlier).

NDP is confirming, once again, its program definition that the Republic of Macedonia should be defined as a democratic and sovereign state of its citizens - of the equal populations of Macedonians, Albanians and all other ethnic and national units living in it.
The first condition for starting the elimination of non- equality and institutional discrimination is the change of the Constitution of the Republic of Macedonia, in conformity with the platform of NDP for national equalities.
That is why NDP is inviting all political parties and other associations of Albanians to unite and carry out democratic and political steps on the basis of the unique platform, as a precondition for the position of Albanian subjects, in initiating a process of realization of real national and citizen equality in Macedonia.
