  • Haziri: Police at the order of Jalal Svechla are attacking protesters

    Protest organiser before the Kosovo Assembly, Liberation Haziri, has accused incumbent Minister of Internal Affairs Jalal Svecla of giving the Kosovo Police orders to intervene against protesters who are demanding approval of amendments to the Law for Specialised Chambers in The Hague.

    Haziri’s statement was made during the protest, at the moment Kosovo police used tear gas to disperse protesters.

    Besides being silent until today, today we were also attacked, hit. These cops that are more numerous today than we are yesterday were very few and we were very many, but we kept them as the eyes of our foreheads. Today these were ordered by Jedal Svechla, Haziri has declared.

    Haziri has asked MPs to vote on second reading Bill on Change and Fulfill the Law on Specialised Chambers, rejecting the connection of the issue to the president’s election.

    According to him, adopting the law should not be conditioned with political agreements or deals.

    Our policy, our representatives have chosen not to have the law as a priority, but with the KLA law to condition their political positions, he has said, calling on MPs not to link the law vote with political office.

    Haziri has also declared that protesters will stand before the Assembly and try to prevent MPs from leaving without legal changes being adopted.

    Meanwhile, during the protest the situation has been tense, while Kosovo police have used tear gas following the launch of pyrotechnic vehicles and the obstruction of movement near the Framework object.

    Earlier, the Kosovo Assembly had first approved the Bill on Change and Fulfilling of the Law for Specialised Chambers and the Specialised Prosecutor’s Office, with 91 votes for and none against. Final approval of it requires second reading voting. /Telegraphy.

  • The tense protest in Pristina &#82/11; Police come out with notice

    Kosovo police have announced that the protest held Monday around the Kosovo Government and Assembly facilities has continued during evening hours, causing the situation to strain.

    According to police, a group of protesters have repeatedly thrown various items, pyrotechnic tools and fireworks towards state objects. Police say protesters have also tried to prevent MPs and personalities from leaving the Parliament building, while some of them have been forced back inside.

    Police have announced that during the protest they have repeatedly called on participants to protest peacefully, not to damage public property, and not to prevent free movement of citizens.

    While the protests continued to be held near state objects, a certain group of people in protest — in disappointment with the failure of the Special Law — have consistently thrown various items, pyrotechnic tools and fireworks towards state objects, police reports say.

    According to police authorities, due to the continuing launch of the pyrotechnic means, traffic obstruction and risk of undermining state objects, police officials have been forced to take measures to put the situation under control.

    Police have used tear gas, saying it has been done to enable MPs and other persons from the Parliament to exit and restore public order.

    The situation has escalated even with the burning of certain refuse containers and lighting fires on the street. According to police, these actions have caused material damage.

    However, police have indicated that until the moment the announcement was announced, it was not reported on any serious injury to persons.

    Kosovo police have stressed that they recognise citizens’ right to protest and expression of discontent in a peaceful and democratic manner, while appealing to protesters to respect the law, do not harm public property and prevent freedom of movement.

    According to police, while the protest continues, police units will remain on the ground for ensuring public order and security, protection of citizens and state objects, as well as for the success of the protest. /Telegraphy.

    Parliament Speaker Africa Gashi has hosted the former Speakers of the Parliament at the meeting. At the third meeting with Tito Petkovski, Nikola Popovski, Trajko Veljanoski and Jovan Mitreskin, Gashi signed the decision to establish the Council of former Speakers of the Republic of Northern Macedonia.

  • EU Ambassador to Britain: The ball is in London’s court for future relations

    The new European Union Ambassador to the United Kingdom, Yukka Salovaara, has declared that Brussels is willing to engage in a new relationship with London, but initially expects Britain to determine what it wants.

    Salovara is expected to play an important role in the British political debate, while the government of Andy Burnham is looking into the future of relations with the EU. Burnham has been clearer than his predecessor, Keir Starmer, that the current relationship is not functioning and that all options, including full return to the EU, must be on the table in front of the next labist election manifest.

    Salovaara, 58, describes his role as a relief worker, assessing what can function and what not between the two sides. He will not be directly at the negotiating table, but says he will be very close to her.

    My task is to explain London in Brussels and Brussels in London, he said, naming the United Kingdom the first and main EU partner.

    Former permanent secretary in Finland’s Foreign Ministry and his country’s former ambassador to the UN, Salovaara has returned to Britain after about three decades. In 1996, as a new diplomat, he dealt with European affairs in London on the eve of Tony Blair’s coming to power.

    According to him, the 1990 ‘ s were a period of optimism when global trade was growing and believed that interdependence would bring greater security. He recalls that Blair’s lab government was very close to Eurozone membership.

    Currently, the issue of relations with the EU is expected to return to the spotlight. Burnham’s first summit with the EU is scheduled for November, while on the table it is expected to be topics such as food standards, links to carbon emissions trade schemes, youth movement and security.

    Salvatorea stressed that improving common food standards could reduce border controls. About 60 percent of British food exports go to the EU market, while about 70 percent of food imports come from the bloc’s countries.

    Meanwhile, negotiations continue on a possible scheme of youth movement, including the number of people between the ages of 18 and 30 who can participate and their right to work and study. According to European officials, London has initially proposed 50,000 seats a year, while Brussels requires 150 thousand.

    As for the possibility of a British return to the EU, Salovaara said Brussels does not want to predetermine a collective stance, but expects London to hold its domestic debate.

    Topi is very much in the United Kingdom field. The debate should initially take place and see the options, then the EU will be ready to engage, he said.

    Salovaara acknowledged that such a fundamental change would require a broad political consensus. He also cited other alternatives to full membership, such as the single European market, customs union or new forms of associate membership.

    According to him, even the relations of countries outside the EU, such as Norway, show that co-operation with the bloc can go beyond economic issues and include political and security areas. /Telegraphy/

  • The entrance to the House is blocked by the nation, the citizen: Do not let MPs go until the law is voted

    The entrance to the House is blocked by the nation, the citizen: Do not let MPs go until the law is voted

    A citizen protesting before the Kosovo Assembly has stated that protesters have done their part of the job and that it is already up to MPs to do the same.

    He said there has also been a misunderstanding during the protest with the Kosovo Police, while explaining the reason for establishing a nation before the entry of the Parliament.

    We’re done with our jobs, our own police. We had a misunderstanding with the police. The reason for the nation’s deployment is not to allow MPs to leave unless the Special Law is voted on, the citizen said.

    Protesters are seeking approval of changes in the Law for Specialised Chambers and the Specialised Prosecutor’s Office. /Telegraphy/

  • PLD: Not subscientisation of fuel for neighbours, we’re refueling VAT for citizens and country businesses

    While fuel prices are rising daily and putting pressure on family budgets, and Macedonia’s citizens are facing increasingly higher living costs every day, the Government must finally show that its priority is its citizens, and not talk about improvised and unwary measures, say the PLD.

    We remember our proposal for the VAT reimbursement for expensive fuel, as a concrete and direct measure for financial relief to local citizens and companies.

    Instead of subsidising citizens supplied with fuel from neighbouring countries, the Government should direct public funds to those most in need of them — the citizens of the country, transporters, speditionaries and local businesses.

    Today, when every denarius is important and every denarius is important, smart economic policies are needed, not political marketing, public relations and long-term measures. Instead of spending money on unnecessary expenses, celebrations, new functions and party privileges, the government should show that it knows the real economic problems, they say from there.

    PLD wants Government to examine it, find a way to implement the T-repaying proposal. VV for fuel and show that it can manage public finances in the interest of protecting local citizens.

    Record economic growth, as the prime minister likes to say, should not be built on the backs of local citizens. A truly state economy is built with policies that keep money in the pockets of citizens, added by the PDL. /Telegraphy/

  • &#8220 ; won’t break any glass…” Gucati talks with police official &#82/11; wants to stay in the Court of Parliament until the Special Law vote

    Well done by God. Not even the ladder gets near, we wait for what it wants. As soon as the second reading law is read, we don’t get close. No glass will break, Gucati said.

    He added that veterans have not come to cause violence or insult MPs.

    We have brought you to power, not with you insult… we have shed blood for this country. We’re throwing bricks at you and curse you, and we don’t curse you, Gucati said. /Telegraphy/

  • LSDM: Two and a half years of Mickoski brought isolation and departure from the EU and decline in the country’s economy

    Two and a half years of Mickoski and O power BRM-PDUM brought a decline in the economy, a lower standard of living, a broken economy, new debts and a blocked European road, the LSDM says.

    As millions of public money end up in party tenders, there is no money for citizens. 5.53m euros for a DJ, 200m euros in tender scandals, land sales, water, xes. Five new mines planned until 2040, antimons near Kriva Pallanka, databases, are for the interests of others, commissions and profits at the expense of the people.

    The business network in the energy sector is working with full steam, a meter contract, bus-related deal with Orban.

    During that time, the rented consumer basket reached over 90,000 denarii. Workers have the lowest wages in Europe, and they are barely making it.

    Everything has become more expensive, fuel has exceeded 100 denars and the Mickoski government is doing nothing, there is no money for a minimum salary of 600 euros.

    Farmers are on the verge of existence: without money, without redemption, without marketing, subsidies are down by 40m euros, they are delayed and not paid, IPARD is threatened because of the director’s corruption.

    Pensioners have been robbed, facing uncertainty, while the vacuum in the Pension Fund totals one billion euros. There is no money, so the government wants to get the money from the second pension pillar.

    Debts are growing every week. Only in two and a half years, Mickoski and O BRM- DPA has raised it by 4 billion euros, half of the total debt in the last 30 years.
    Foreign investments are at their lowest level in history, only 18.7m euros in the second quarter of 2026, the LSDM says.

    From there they say the European road is blocked.

    Macedonian identity, language and culture have been preserved, but Mickoski fears a European prosecution and is pushing the country towards isolation.

    Instead of reforms and a European future, the fraud is pushing ahead the agenda that distances Macedonia from the EU.

    This is what has brought about two and a half years of Mickoski government: poverty, isolation, a ruined economy, a worse standard of living and even greater migration of youth./Telegraphy/
