FOCUS News Agency

Skopje. Albanian parties in Macedonia rejected the allegations that they are connected to radical Islamist structures, Macedonian Vecer daily reports.

The reaction comes after the Islam religious community said that there are such structures within the political parties.

The parties, on the other hand, said they have never been in touch with radical Islamist groups.

The Democratic Union for Integration, which is part of the ruling majority in Macedonia, said that it tries to follow the religious life from a distance, since party’s philosophy looks at a modern state.
“Our party is trying to keep distance from the religious life, as we believe that Macedonia should be a modern country,” said Djavat Ademi with the Democratic Union for Integration.
