At today's parliamentary session, the opposition parties requested that the former minister be given his mandate as an MP, given that a court in Macedonia acquitted suspected in the Rastanska Lozja.
The municipal court in Skopje last Friday acquitted three high ranking police officials and one businessman, charged with the murder of seven Asian immigrants in March 2002, due to lack of evidence. The court in Pula issued an indictment against the then interior minister Boskovski for the same crime.
The International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia charged Boskovski with the killing of seven Albanians in the village of Ljuboten in August 2001, during armed conflicts between Macedonians and rebel Albanians.
The military and police operation in Ljuboten took place after eight Macedonian soldiers were killed in a mine blast and a simultaneous attack on a military convoy, the ICTY indictment said.
