Statement by Commissioner Hahn on the situation in Kumanovo, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia

"I am deeply concerned at the unfolding situation in the Kumanovo region and possible injuries and loss of life. I urge the authorities and all political and community leaders to cooperate, to restore calm and fully investigate the events in an objective and transparent manner within the Law.

I urge all actors for utmost restraint. Any further escalation must be avoided, not the least in the interest of the overall stability in the country."
