Kocani-Fire Related Topics in Focus of Q&A Session of Parliament

Expectedly, Kocani fire-related topics were in the focus of the Q&A session of the legislative house for opposition MPs, held on Thursday.

Opposition parliamentarians asked cabinet members numerous questions, including whether the Interior Ministry had acted according to the law, who would be held to account for oversights, and whether there were political victims in the investigation.

SDSM MPs criticised Minister Pance Toskovski, saying police had the key role in the chain of competences, adding that they hadn’t responded appropriately.

However, the Interior Minister praised what he said was the quick response. DUI parliamentarians again backed fellow party member, Kreshnik Bekteshi, who’s a suspect in the case, saying there was a selective investigation and no respect for the presumption of innocence principle.
