The Macedonian Alliance for European Integration (Macedonian Party) (Albanian: Aleanca Maqedonase për Integrimin Europian; Macedonian: Македонска Алијанса за Европска Интеграција) is a political party of the ethnic Macedonians in Albania. It was established on 30 October 2004 under the name Macedonian Alliance for European Integration and was registered as a political party on 8 June 2005.[3] The first president of the party was Edmond Temelko, who was the mayor of the Pustec Municipality from 2007 until 2019. It first succeeded in electing an ethnic Macedonian to parliament in 2019, Vasil Sterjovski.[4] Sterjovski himself was elected as the president of the party in September 2019. The party does not support the claims that a Bulgarian minority exists in Albania.[5]
