The Albanian ambassador in North Macedonia, Denion Meidani, reacted after the serious incident, where a policeman removed the Albanian flag placed for the November holidays and threw it on the ground. The Albanian ambassador says that they are in constant contact with the institutions and that they are acting in accordance with diplomatic practice.
In a Facebook post, Meidani writes that "diplomacy is not a reality show", while emphasizing that "calmness and maturity remain our guides".
"We are following the situation closely, we are in constant communication with the relevant institutions, the entire Albanian political factor and our partners. I assure you that we are acting in accordance with diplomatic practice.
Diplomacy is not a reality show, relations between states are not built on the emotions of individuals, issues go beyond what appears. Calmness and maturity remain our guides", writes the Albanian ambassador to North Macedonia.
The Prosecutor's Office of North Macedonia launched an investigation into the incident in Kumanovo where the police removed and threw the Albanian flags that were placed for the November holidays on the ground. After this act, the Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs Astrit Iseni announced that he will start a disciplinary procedure against the policeman.
The opposition political parties also reacted to the scandal with the Albanian flag, demanding the resignation of the Minister of the Interior and the punishment of the Macedonian policeman.
