Paragraph 59
 

59.  Nonetheless, it would still appear that the Code does not fully implement the Ohrid Framework Agreement requirements in certain respects. Instead, the Code continues to adhere to practices developed during recent elections, and even some elements of those practices have not been fully reflected. It might be the case that these omissions could be addressed through operation of the Language Law, electoral regulations, or other instruments. Failing to address all the linguistic issues related to elections through the Code, however, could continue the uncertainty on these matters and lead to ad hoc and potentially controversial responses during electoral periods.
