On the night between Thursday and Friday Macedonian border guards
killed a 38-year-old Albanian Baftjar Trashi near the border with
Albania, on the Macedonian territory, the Albanian agency ATA
reported.
Macedonian official Dashnor Dervishi requested that the Macedonian
authorities immediately launch an objective investigation into the
incident.
The Macedonian army said in a statement the two men were trying to
illegally cross the border. Since they ignored a warning issued by
the patrol, they were shot at and one of them was seriously wounded
and later died.
