Six cities in the Balkans have made it into the top ten most polluted cities in Europe in data published by the Guardian newspaper.

The newspaper analysed data on ultra-fine pollution particles, called PM2.5, from the World Health Organisation, WHO, finding that the town of Tetova in north-western Macedonia was the most polluted city in Europe excluding Turkey.

The Democratic Renewal of Macedonia, DOM party - the country's green political force - has accused the authorities of not doing enough to curb the dangerous air pollution in Skopje and other major towns.
