President of the Coordinating Body for Presevo, Medvedja and Bujanovac, Zoran Stankovic says it is "not possible" for the conflict in Macedonia "to spill over."

"The services in charge are doing their job, carrying out assessments of the situation on a daily basis, not only in Macedonia, but also in other surrounding countries," Stankovic stressed.

"All activities are being undertaken, such as raising the combat alertness and dispatching a smaller number of people to those territories," he was quoted as saying.
