    Former leader of commando's #Albania: Untrue can kill us in one hour, we have more brave men then #Macacedonia, #Serbia & #Rusia together

    So Ali Ahmeti, leader of coalition party #Gruevski, confirms that one ethnic Albanian escaped from #Kumanovo. Current location #Kosovo.

    Ramush Haradinaj is against formation of ethnic Serbian division in Kosovar Army.

    BREAKING: Ivanov sending letter to countries of UN saying that "It is the fault of Kosovo and several ethnic Albanian politicians" (S:B-Web)

    Without a clear path to Nato and EU the risks of Macedonia fracturing are overwhelming. Greek veto is irresponsible. http://www.economist.com/news/europe...or-distraction …

    Each day brings a new explanation... Serbian Daily claims #Kumanovo Shooting staged by Former Security Chief https://shar.es/1r5wME

    For first time in history Albania "united" all Albanian parties in Macedonia. Ali Ahmetin (BDI), Menduh Thain (PDSH) Zijadin Seln (RPDSH), Vesel Memedin(RDK) & Bilall Kasamin (Besa) meet in Pogradec, Albania. Happend one day before protests in meeting Min Foreign Affairs and Speaker was present. Details are unclear...but source say #Kumanovo main theme.

    Prime Minister of Albania, Edi Rama, organised the meeting. Details unclear

    The Economist shared this picture, Albanian media: is this the best map of Greater-Albania? (S: Zeri) pic.twitter.com/X3nvqdPNqB

    To all those saying Albanians are fighting for greater Albania. Here you go: pic.twitter.com/jlRVvgD2FO

    The more #Gruesvki try to divide #Macedonia the more people gather to ask for his resignation ! https://twitter.com/olimp7/status/599905474927063040 …

    Not even 2pm and thousands filling Skopje streets. Amazing atmo. Albanians, Macedonians together. Even Turkish and Roma flags
    Crowd dancing and a playful waterfight has broken out in the midday heat

    Default After the bugging and the bullets come a peaceful protest

    A comprehensive report on the peaceful demo in Skopje now:
    Huge crowds (est. 40k) joined a major anti-government rally in Skopje, demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski amid a political crisis sparked by a mass surveillance scandal.
    Not spotted this before. Does this mean the government will falter, if not fall:
    wo days after calling the police action in Kumanovo a success, Interior Minister Gordana Jankuloska, the chief of the secret police, Saso Mijalkov, as well as the Transportation Minister, Mile Janakieski - all heavily implicated in the illegal surveillance scandal - resigned.

    Protesters rally in Moldova to back reunification with Romania, say no to Russian pressurehttp://www.neurope.eu/ap_feed/protes...sian-pressure/ …

    Not a single incident at the protests in #Skopje! That is already good step forward for Balkan, hopefully an inspiration for upcoming ones.

    John Schindler @20committee
    Latest Kremlin Active Measure: Terrorist raid in Macedonia was "really" false flag US/UK SOF from KFOR. All the rage in Skopje right now.

    The essence of provokatsiya is creating problems in order to solve them. True in 1890, true in 2015
