The Prime Minister Zoran Zaev told Friday the court that the defendants Trajko Veljanoski, Mile Janakieski and Spiro Risteski are not organizers of the events of April 27. He surprisingly pointed out that they are not the main culprits, although the proceedings in the trial are conducted against them.

I think that they are not organizers, motivators, that it is Nikola Gruevski. These people have been manipulated by Gruevski and it is not fair for the legal system to conduct such proceedings, said Zaev.
