Milan Zarubica, called one of the "greatest makers of synthetic drugs" in the region by Serbia's Interior Ministry, was arrested on Friday in Serbia together with seven others suspected of making and selling narcotics.

The Macedonian Police Minister, Gordana Jankuloska, on Wednesday insisted her ministry was "clean" and was playing no role in management of the electoral roll.

Jankuloska’s statement came a day after the main opposition Social Democratic Party, SDSM, as well as the junior ruling party, the Democratic Union for Integration, DUI, disputed the accuracy of the electoral roll.
