The smugglers are really victims and so the Albanians in rom will demonstrate that its the slavo Macedonians fault.A a try.At this stage anything is a try including civil disobedience they got to save their fellow Albanians.

shootout on Albanian border

One was killed and four were wounded in Police shootout with smugglers.

Dedo,I think Nova wantig to be the first to break the news had spiced them a bit .
It wasn't a police-criminals shootout,but criminals-owners shootout.
A group of masked men were robbing a couple of jewelry stores in Debar,located on the same street opposed each other.The owners of the shops (probably well-armed shiptars as well) returned fire and the men escaped with a stolen vehicle with foreign license plates.
There was no police involved whatsoever and it didn't happen at the border as described.
One of the owners was hospitalized,as well as a by-stander and an albanian customer that happened to be in the store at the time of the robbery.
The only reliable info is that indeed the border crossing was closed to prevent the robbers to escape to Albania.
And according to new info,there wasn't a fatality either.
Here are fresh links about the incident:
