Over the last 24 hours, more details have emerged about former Macedonian Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski’s escape from Macedonia to avoid a 2-year prison term for corruption.
Journalist Vincent Triest reported on Twitter that Albanian police confirmed that Gruevski had crossed the border between Albania and Montenegro in a vehicle belonging to the Hungarian embassy in Albania, with license plate CD1013A. The car allegedly passed the border on November 11 at 19:11.
It is yet unclear how and when Gruevski entered Albania. No records of his entry have so far been located in the TIMS system.
Gruevski has applied for political asylum in Hungary.
