Macedonia's former ruling VMRO DPMNE party has removed several indicted former ministers and senior officials from its executive committee - although with ousted PM Nikola Gruevski still leading the party, the changes appear more cosmetic than substantial, observers say.

Nikola Gruevski, leader of Macedonia's main ruling VMRO DPMNE party, has been condemned for suggesting that if 19th and 20th century Macedonian freedom fighters were alive today, they would assassinate his main political opponent, Zoran Zaev, head of the Social Democrats.

The Council for Traffic Safety has declared a new traffic light operational on the corner of Olge Miliutinovic and Kradjordjeva streets in Kraljevo.

The event was attended by Mayor Predrag Terzic, the Council's president, and President of the Municipal Assembly Nenad Markovic, and other officials.
