SKOPJE (Macedonia), April 27 (SeeNews) - Protesters supporting former prime minister and conservative party leader Nikola Gruevski broke into Macedonia's parliament following the election of ethnic Albanian Talat Xhaferi for parliament speaker, videos published by local media showed on Thursday night.
According to local broadcaster Alsat-M, opposition SDSM leader Zoran Zaev and Ziadin Sela, leader of Movement for Reforms PDSH, were lightly injured in the attack.
Macedonia has been locked in a political crisis since January 2015, when Zaev accused the coalition government led by VMRO-DPMNE of corruption, illegal wiretapping of more than 20,000 people and covering-up a murder. Early elections held in December as part of an EU-brokered deal have failed resolve the crisis and no government has been formed so far.
