The European Commission condemned the violence in Macedonia and
expressed the regret for its victims. The Spokesperson for the
Commissioner for Enlargement appealed for the situation to calm down.

“The European Commission opposes and condemns violence and we are appealing everyone to respect the rule of law, and we are supporting the efforts that reinforce the rule of law. As for the incidents, we express our deep regret for what happened and for the fact that there were injured people. We are following the situation closely, and we know that the national and local authorities have taken measures and are conducting deep investigations. We believe that the interested parties, the politicians and the civil society will know how to control the emotions after these events, and appeal for order to be restored in the country”, declared Peter Stano, the Spokesperson for the Commissioner for Enlargement, Stefan Fule.

The offences against the Albanians in Macedonia and the lack of implementation of the Ochrid Agreement will be one of the main dialogue topics that Commissioner Fule is expected to start on 15 March in Skopje, with Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski.
