At least three ethnic incidents took place last night in Macedonia, two
in Skopje and one in Tetovo, as informed by the MPB, without mentioning
the identity of the people involved.

The Macedonian Interior Minister, Gordana Jankullovska, decalred in front of the Committee for Interethnic Relations that 25 incidents have been recorded in Macedonia, since the beginning of the year.

Speaking about the beating of the children, she said that some suspects have been interrogated, while the investigation process is continuing.

“40 persons of both genders have been attacked, 38 of whom have been injured. Most of the incidents have happened in urban buses near schools”, declared Nakullovkska, General Chief of Police.

The extraordinary meeting of the Committee for Interethnic Relations, summoned about the recent situation, followed with harsh debates. The PDSH MPs abandoned the room, dissatisfied with the work of the committee.

“There’s a total negligence from the majority, the Chairman of the Committee and especially the Minister, who didn’t see it reasonable to bring us detailed and written information. For this reason, the Parliamentary group and two PDSH members will abandon the work of the committee. We do not want to become part of the masquerade, the killings and wickedness against Albanains”, declared MP Orhan Ibrahimi.

“I am sorry that the PDSH misused today’s space and abused with the time of all MPs. Their MPs proved that they don’t want to be part of any masquerade. In fact, their behavior showed who the authors of the masquerade are, and who is really dedicated for the normalization of the situation”, declared MP Ermira Mehmeti, from the BDI.

The recent situation has been reviewed by the Main Albanian Parties in Macedonia. The BDI in government asked the entire factor to give its contribution for stopping this cycle of incidents that could destabilize the country.

The PDSH accused the government, saying that the Albanian Party in government has lost the legitimacy of the Albanians.

Thaci’s Party asked the Interior Minister, Gordana Jankullovska and her Deputy, Xhelal Bajrami to resign. This party asked Tirana, Prishtina and the international factor to not allow this situation.

SP: Violence against students, a criminal act

The Socialist Party of Albania condemned the attack against the Albanian students in Skopje, considering it a criminal and unacceptable act that should be seen as an alarm bell for all those who see the future of the region in Europe, rather then in the past of ethnic conflicts.

RBA: Macedonian terrorist groups to be arrested

The Red and Black Alliance, which today had its first anniversary of creation, asked the Albanian parties in the neighboring country to come together for this situation.

“The violence against the Albanian students is an ethnic provocation that should be condemned. We ask the arrest of the Macedonian terrorist groups”, RBA declared.

“Zgjohu”: Authors to be punished

The “Zgjohu” civil movement expressed its regret for this brutal event and offered its solidarity to the families of the victims, asking the authorities to punish the authors as soon as possible.

The event took place this Wednesday in Skopje, where 15 Albanian children were brutally beaten by 20 masked men that entered a school bus.
