The ID card is not a private document in the first place, but a public document, which is temporarily given to the person so that the institutions and the public and private legal entities determined by law can identify it. The data from the ID card, especially the personal identification number, are also protected by law. Ethnic identity is a private and subjective category. No identity today (and in the past) is immutable, including ethnic. The people can choose and change any identity whenever they wants.
The ethnic boundaries aren’t as tough and impermeable as they were back in the days, now, there are people with double, triple ethnic identities, as a consequence of the mixed marriages, migrations and other processes of modern living.
Having in mind that ou8r political system and law affirm the ethnic separation and the inequality of all citizens on ethnic basis. This ethnic marking of the citizens will only increase the existing inequality within the society. With that, ethnic apartheids will be introduced in Macedonia through a small door. Without the declared and inscribed appropriate ethnicity in the ID cards, the citizen will not be able to be employed under equal conditions, he will not be able to enter certain discos, swimming pools, malls...
And one more thing. For example, if Macedonians, Albanians, Turks, Serbs, Roma, Vlachs and Bosniaks have that "privilege" in our country, why wouldn't a Croat, a Montenegrin, an Egyptian or a Torbesh have that right...?
This once again proves that we are the only country and society in the world that the Preamble of the Constitution serves as a basis for discrimination!
And yet we declare ourselves and we belong to the western civilization and our country is a full member of NATO!
