Commenting
an incident taking place at a football match in Pristina, Macedonia's
Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) says that in such sensitive moments
each undertaken step should be in favor of calming, not further
stirring of tensions.
- Every responsible factor in the society should most fiercely condemn such extreme acts, MoFA said Tuesday in a press release.
Macedonia's Liaison Offise in Pristina called on
Kosovo authorities to take all legal measures for identifying and
bringing the perpetrators to justice.
- Mutual trust and respect are being built for a
long-term and each side should contribute to that effect. Kosovo, as
the youngest country in the region, is expected to demonstrate its
capacity in such situations to act appropriately in favor of
good-neighborly relations and regional stability, the press release
reads.
Macedonia's flag was set on fire yesterday in
Pristina's city stadium during a football match between local clubs
"Pristina" and "Vlaznimi", Kosovo media in Albanian language reported
Tuesday.
Anti-Macedonian slogans were displayed on stadium's stands as well, the media said.
News outlets in Kosovo say the incident comes as a
result of the "discontent stemming from the
Macedonian Encyclopedia".
