Refugees from Tetovo and its surrounding villages, who had been forced from their homes by Albanian extremists, burst into the Macedonian parliament building late on Wednesday night.
The victims of Albanian ethnic cleansing had been protesting outside the parliament building, which contains the president's working office, since Tuesday. They were demanding that the authorities take more decisive action against the Albanian terrorists. Police standing on guard did not interfere, as the demonstrators themselves maintained order. Only refugees from Tetovo and its surrounding villages were allowed to enter.
The demonstrators announced that they would not leave until they were guaranteed the possibility of going home. They demanded this not only from their own government, but also the international community, whose representatives are in Skopje. The latter are trying to find a solution to the situation and, above all, they are attempting convince the Albanian militants to bring an end to the ethnic cleansing and leave the positions they occupied before a ceasefire had been declared.
According to reports from Skopje, the allies of the Albanian separatists, in the face of Nato representative Peter Feith, managed to persuade the leaders of the Albanian terrorists to begin withdrawing from those territories taken before the ceasefire. Fearing for the fate of the Albanians under his leadership, he informed Macedonian president Boris Trajkovsky, in the name of Nato, that the residents of Tetovo and its environs could apparently return home. However, no one has yet said that to the refugees themselves.
