Albanians make up roughly 25 percent of the country's population, according to official data, and their political representation is a key part of the country's multi-ethnic power-sharing system.The resignation comes just weeks after his name sparked public debate over his extended absence from work. According to local media reports, Fetai had not been showing up for duty for several months, with his last public activities as Deputy Prime Minister dating back to March.

The issue gained further attention after he failed to appear at the parliamentary question session on May 18, despite his participation having been previously announced. Questions were also raised about whether he continued to receive a salary from the state budget during his absence.Just days earlier, Prime Minister Mickoski stated that he would hold a meeting with Fetai, after which several issues regarding his participation in the government would be clarified.Earlier, Mickoski had revealed that Fetai had personally expressed his wish to leave the government and return to Brussels, where he had professional engagements before taking up the position in the executive.
