MACEDONIAN POLICE REPORT GUNFIRE IN TETOVO
Radio Macedonia - September 25, 2003

Tetovo is spending this overcast autumn day engrossed in the questions of who, and for what reasons, is making themselves heard with volleys of sporadic gunfire in unknown directions, as police reports put it. In any case, it is a fortunate coincidence that no Tetovo resident has fallen victim to the gunfire raging this morning. (Passage omitted)

What continues to cause irritation is the total lack of interest in the Tetovo tobacco company, which the usurpers have renamed the building of the Mala Recica university.

We have noticed that intensive illegal building works are in progress in the yard outside the company. All this is taking place before the vigilant eyes of the mixed police patrols.

The Tetovo residents whom we have interviewed have said that this must stop, although they do not know and cannot guess who is in charge. In any case, anarchy is evident.
