Albanians protest once again in Skopje
Another protest had been announced in Skopje this Saturday for the trial against the Albanian suspects for the murder of some Macedonians.

Around 50 young men have closed the road for the Cair commune and some of them clashed with the police, which responded with tear gas.

The protesters have not allowed journalists to film, while the past night went without any incident.

The Interior Ministry did not publish any data about the number of protests, but they said that 20 police officers were injured and 16 protesters were arrested.

Political figures reacted today, with the Albanian political party that is part of the governing coalition, BDI, appealing for calm.

BDI expressed their concern about yesterday’s events and appealed calm, saying that violence interrupts the commitment of this party to find the truth of this case.

The PDSH accused the former Minister of Justice, Blerim Bexheti, and blamed BDI leader for the situation.

The Skopje Court sentenced six Albanian young men for the murder of five young Albanian Macedonians.
