Kosovo’s Foreign Minister, Enver Hoxhaj, said in an interview for TV Art that Kosovo has good relations with the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia but that communication between the two countries may suffer as a result of the mistreatment of Albanians arrested in the Kumanovo case. “The Kumanovo incident has been overcome but what often makes the relations with Skopje difficult is the mistreatment of inmates during their transport from prison to the court. We have raised our concerns at the political level because this is unacceptable.

Sulejman Osmani also known as Commander Sula was extradited yesterday from Kosovo to Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM). The 55-year-old was arrested in Kosovo in July 2015, following an international arrest warrant issued by FYROM for his involvement in the armed incident in Kumanovo last year.

The Deputy Speaker of the Assembly, Xhavit Haliti, today proposed that Kosovo’s Interior Minister, Skender Hyseni, shall report to the Assembly on the armed incident that happened in Kumanovo, FYROM, a few months ago where allegedly several Kosovo citizens were involved. Meanwhile, the Vetevendosje Movement MP, Ilir Deda, expressed his concern over the security situation in Kosovo.  Deda said it is not a good image for Kosovo that some people forcibly removed fences at the government building.

The so-called National Liberation Army (NLA) through a press release stated today that “justice will severely punish the betrayal on the serious incident in Kumanovo, the gangs of Ali Ahmeti, Menduh Thaci and some Kosovo politicians, who in cooperation with Nikola Gruevski, Sasa Mihajlkov and Georgana Jankulovska organized the massacre of 9 and 10 May.”

Members of the European Parliament on Wednesday urged international investigation into the armed incident that happened in Kumanovo, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM) two weeks ago. During the yesterday’s plenary session, MEPs called on the European Parliament to support FYROM on its road towards the EU, but urged respect for the rights of all its citizens. Austrian MEP Ulrike Lunacek said that she was shocked by the incident in Kumanovo."There should be an independent investigation on what happened there.
