Interpol will search for Alil Demiri (1985) and Afrim Ismailovic (1980), both from Skopje, who are under suspicion for committing a multiple murder near Smiljkovci village and still at large.

Under the Skopje Basic Court order, the Ministry of Interior issued a national and international arrest warrant for the two suspects, against whom terrorism charges were filed.

An investigative judge has ordered a 30-day detention for them, and for Agim Ismailovic, who is also under suspicion of committing the murder, as well as their helpers Aziri Fejzi and Sejdi Rami. All of them are charged for terrorism.

Same period of detention has been also ordered to other four suspects for illegal possession and trade of weapons.

The criminal charges for terrorism, submitted by the Ministry of Interior for the multiple murder near Smiljkovci, has been accepted, meaning that all evidence that the MoI has presented to the court were sufficiently convincing to determine the preliminary detention and resume with the investigation, Interior Minister Gordana Jankuloska said earlier on Thursday.

"We have been intensively working on the criminal charges over the past couple of days. According to my information, five terrorism suspects have been given a 30-day detention, whereas ten other persons a 48-hour detention", said Jankuloska.

She stressed the most important thing at the moment was to make the required efforts in order to find the remaining two individuals, who are currently on the run.

"A wanted circular will be send in the course of the day, meaning that Interpol will search for them", added Jankuloska.

The MoI had preliminary perceptions over the number of perpetrators from the very beginning of the investigation, which have confirmed to be true.

"However, it is certain that a crime of such consequences requires that those directly involved in the terrorist act had connections, support, logistics", said MoI Jankuloska.

According to her, analyses are ongoing over determining if the seized weapons are the ones used for the crime.

"Even without this aspect, there is sufficient material evidence that points to the perpetrators of this crime", added Jankuloska.

Asked if the perpetrators had links with groups from abroad, the Minister said it was too early to say in this stage of the investigation if there is possible connection.

Jankuloska emphasized that in acts of terrorism the victim is not always in direct connection with the perpetrator, which has been confirmed with the Smilkovci murder, since the victims did not have a criminal record or contacts with the terrorism suspects.

"They want to cause anxiety among the population, mistrust in institutions, which could result in other consequential events. In this specific case, the Macedonian society has demonstrated a high degree of maturity and patience, so that institutions can do their job, without any disturbances to security and provocations for unrest", underlined MoI Jankuloska.
