Bulgaria: Macedonia's Skopje Police Brace for More Ethnic Violence

Police in the Macedonian capital Skopje are on the alert following reports that inter-ethnic tensions might lead to another weekend of violence.

Last Sunday, ethnic Albanians and Slavs clashed at Skopsko Kale - Skopje's fortress - over diverging views whether a church must be built there or not.

The fight, involving knives and stones, left seven people injured, one of them a policeman.

Reports have it that this Saturday both supporters and opposers will gather at the Kale to state their position. Police have been deployed in large numbers all around Skopje, with a special concentration on the fortress.

Ethnic Albanians have opposed the construction of the Christian temple in the Kale, saying this is an insult to their minority. Christian Slavic Macedonians on their part have argued that there is no reason that the church be not built.

It is claimed that last week activists from the ethnic Albanian Democratic Union for Integration, including high-profile politicians, have actually demolished the building under construction.

Saturday Macedonian Minister of Interior Gordana Jankulovska stated the police will act without hesitation should there be new attempts for violence.

I believe the solution is less violence. Maybe a new highway would make them happy. http://67-42-88-178.tukw.qwest.net/xterra.htm

You like getting it up the hoop from Albanians? Interesting. This post validates the bad opinion I have of Greeks.

I don't know what the fuss is all about. In Greece we have assimilated with the Albanians by marrying the women and in time the Greece population will be 100% fully Hellenized. We can still claim that we are as great as Ancient Greece but much more broke

"And she even has a pulse which makes it extra special for you tubo".

I don't think that matters to Tubo, tho.
