Political row in Skopje over Gruevski’s escape to Hungary
The escape of the Republic of Macedonia’s former prime minister Nikola Gruevski to Hungary continues to be one of the main topics of debate in the press and in political circles. Political parties, former interior ministers and representatives of civil society who protested on the night of November 14 in front of the government headquarters have all called for institutional responsibility about the way the former head of the government was allowed to flee the country.
