The party squabbles over the responsibility of Parliament Speaker Afrim Gashi, who sent his head of security to help Kosovo President Vjosa Osmani pass safely through airport security at the Skopje airport, have not subsided, while pointing a gun and threatening the police officers in charge of airport security.

The ruling coalition is satisfied that those responsible for the incident have been located - the head of Gashi's security and two other policemen and measures have been taken against them, so that is enough and there is no need to replace the speaker of the assembly. Even the Minister of Internal Affairs, Panče Toškovski, claims that according to the evidence, the only criminal responsibility lies with the police officer, part of Speaker Gashi's security.

However, SDSM remains on the position of political responsibility of the "orderer" Gashi, and the Left will submit a request to the Parliament for his interpellation.

"It took a little time for Mickoski to break his promises that every official who made a mistake would be held accountable. It seems that this will only apply to ordinary citizens, but not to politicians from his coalition. Mickoski kneels before Gashi and this is pitiful to watch. Neither SDSM nor anyone else clearly wrote in the police report that an 'illegal order was issued by the President of the Assembly'. Need more proof than this? It is also regrettable that Minister Toshkovski wrote an illegal order from Gashi in the report in the morning, and defended him in the evening that there was no basis for criminal responsibility. Everything that is against the Law carries legal responsibility and this is a classic turning a blind eye to justice in order to save the coalition. Everything that VMRO-DPMNE accused SDSM of, now DPMNE itself is doing on twice the scale," SDSM reacts.

The opposition party called on Mickoski to take courage and replace Gashi because "that's the only way he will prove that he stands by his word about the responsibility of politicians".

The ruling VMRO-DPMNE retaliated sharply with parts of the report on the insolent behavior of Kosovo President Vjosa Osmani at the Skopje airport, which they say, the SDSM government at the time did not disclose these incidents. Their statement, however, reveals that because Osmani was flying on commercial flights, the captain of the company's flight was notified for her non-compliance with procedures.

"After arriving at the VIP-sector, there was a misunderstanding between the person responsible for the protocol of the delegation and the security service of the airport because he, referring to the diplomatic immunity of the president, did not agree to have the personal luggage of the president of Kosovo checked in a scanner" , it is stated in the minutes of 16.09.2023 that VMRO-DPMNE reveals.

The party added that the same situation was repeated on October 9, when the Kosovo side claimed that thanks to diplomatic immunity, the president's luggage should not be checked.

"After they reached the VIP sector, the person responsible for the security of the delegation and the management of the protocol (that day was the person D.M. with ID number 5785) (from the Kosovo delegation) were told that the personal luggage of the President of Kosovo was not accepted to enter scanner control. The reasons for this are based on the diplomatic immunity of the president. "The captain of the flight and the representative of Croatia Airlines, referring to international standards and the national security program, emphasized that until they allow checking of the baggage, it will not be accepted on the flight," the minutes of 09.10.2023 state. .year XNUMX. Then the Ministry of Interior was silent, and SDS and DUI were at the service of breaking the laws. SDS is shooting itself in the temple with the sheet announcements", VMRO-DPMNE wrote.

SDSM emphasized yesterday that in their time there were no "gunmen" who came to the airport to threaten the security who professionally conducted the procedures, there were no phone calls and political influence by any politician and therefore there was no scandal.

The details that VMRO-DPMNE announced today, Prime Minister Hristijan Mickoski announced during the meeting with his Kosovo colleague Albin Kurti on Monday that they will be found in the detailed report that the Macedonian authorities are preparing for the incident at the Skopje airport and which will be delivered to the Kosovo authorities.
