‘Russia has expressed its deep concern over the violence in the Macedonian parliament, blaming the opposition’s “foreign patrons” for the Thursday attack.
“Such fast and coordinated reaction is an indisputable proof that what’s happened (in Skopje) had been planned in advance and had an unofficial blessing of foreign patrons of the Macedonian opposition,” Alexei Zaitsev from the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
