Macedonia: Thousands of ethnic Albanians protest jailing of co-nationals


Via AKI:
Thousands of ethnic Albanians on Friday protested in the capital Skopje and several other cities over the jailing of five of their co-nationals in connection of killing of five Macedonians last April.

Demonstrators carried banners “Muslims are not terrorists”, “Pristina, Tirana – ethnic Albania” and glorifying the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA), which fought for Kosovo independence from Serbia.

Demonstrators smashed windows on the government building in Skopje, but there were no other major incidents. Protests were also held in other Albanian-populated cities like Tetovo, Debar, Kicevo, Struga and Gostivar.
