Several dozen people, including family members and friends of Kosovo citizens who were sentenced to life imprisonment for the events in Kumanovo’s Divo Naselje, today protested outside the Macedonian embassy in Priština demanding the release of their loved ones.
As the Kosovo media report, the situation in front of the embassy is tense, but the police are keeping the situation under control. 
Kosovo Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj, appeared before demonstrators, who tried to calm the situation. He urged the protesters and the families of the imprisoned people to remain calm, to be careful and told them that he is ready to talk to them and help them.
Haradinaj did not give a precise answer to a journalist’s question of how he planned to help them, but he said that their loved ones were not in the embassy, but that they are in prison in Skopje.
The protest in front of the Macedonian embassy comes less than a day after Kosovo citizens in Peć and Gnjilane set fire to Macedonian flags in protest of the life sentences imposed on the eight defendants, most of whom are citizens of Kosovo.
