Xhemail Rexhepi

An incident at the weekend when Ali Ahmeti, the head of the junior ruling Democratic Union for Integration, DUI, narrowly escaped an attack by an angry mob in the town of Kumanovo could be the beginning of an outburst of discontent among voters, observers suggested.

Bajram Limani, president of the local branch of the DUI party in Kumanovo, Macedonia, has surrendered to the police.

Limani is a suspect in the murder of Xhemail Rexhepi that took place on Thursday afternoon.
