Skopje, 16 November 2022 (MIA) - Seven schools in Skopje have received bomb threats, said the Ministry of the Interior on Wednesday. The police told MIA that measures are being taken for safe evacuation and anti-terror checks. "At 9:30 AM it was reported to the Skopje police that a threat of an explosive device was sent to the emails of seven schools in Skopje. Immediately after receiving the reports, police officers are taking measures for safe evacuation and anti-terrorist checks are in progress and measures are being taken to clear up the case," said the MoI's press release. Interior Minister Oliver Spasovski in an interview with MIA was asked if there is any symbolism in the fact that bomb threats only happen on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. He said that not only do they happen in the last three days of the working week, but that they also happen when the same teaching staff is working the same shift. According to the Minister, the purpose of the reports about the fake bombs that happened in the past weeks in several Skopje secondary schools is to influence the political situation in the country, the capacity of the institutions and the citizens by causing anxiety and insecurity. He emphasized that there are protocols for every such report, which must be respected regardless of the degree of probability in terms of planting bombs, which certainly consumes a lot of strength and energy, but he emphasizes that the police are absolutely ready with all their potential and capacity and that multiple sectors are involved in the whole process. dk/ba/
