Law on amnesty
Prosecutor Vilma Ruskoska said that there will be no requalification of the act for the April 27 events. She is not satisfied with the Law on amnesty, but will implement it.
“There will be no requalifying of the act for those persons who have not been included with the amnesty, because the amnesty does not apply to the entire criminal act terrorist endangerment to the constitutional order and security”, said Ruskoska.
Journalists

SCPC
The network for protection against discrimination came out with a reaction to the continued postponing of the adoption of the submitted draft Law on prevention and protection against discrimination. The draft law was submitted to the Parliament in May this year by the Ministry of Labour and Social Policy, and six months have passed since then. Contrary to all the international recommendations and promises from the Government and the parliamentary majority that the law would be passed until the end of 2018, from the Network they say that the competent Commission on labour and social policy within the Parliament has so far not reviewed at all.
