Skopje, 29 November 2024 (MIA) – The Public Prosecutor’s Office is taking actions looking into an incident involving desecration of the Macedonian flag during last night’s celebration of the Albanian Flag Day in Skopje.

“A public prosecutor has been notified, actions are taken to investigate the event,” says the Public Prosecutor’s Office of the Republic of North Macedonia on Friday. 

People waving flags while being driven in cars across Skopje and several other cities in the country in which the majority of citizens are ethnic Albanians celebrated Albanian Flag Day yesterday. Videos posted on social media show several men desecrating the Macedonian flag and a car running over it.

Parties, both ruling and opposition, have been condemning the flag desecration demanding that perpetrators should be punished.
