(ANSA) - BRUSSELS, DECEMBER 19 - EU spokesperson Maja
Kocijancic said today that the approval of the Macedonian
Parliament for a law offering amnesty to some suspected
perpetrators of a violent storming of parliament in April last
year, "is an important step for reconciliation in the society
and for the need to overcome painful polarisation". Yesterday,
all 95 lawmakers present in the 120-seat parliament backed a
draft amnesty law over the April 2017 incident.
"This process is crucial in helping build a national consensus on strategic issues for the interests of the country," the spokesperson said. Nevertheless, Brussels expects that "the adopted law will not interfere in the independence of the Courts". (ANSA).
