About 53 percent of the citizens of Macedonia do not feel safe, according to a poll the daily 'Dnevnik' is going to publish on Wednesday.

Fifty percent of the respondents consider that at the moment the interethnic relations in the country are bad against 15 percent who believe they are good.

Representatives of both ethnic Macedonians and Albanians are more concerned about the security situation in the country as a result of the recent events. 58 percent of ethnic Macedonian and 42 of ethnic Albanian respondents say there is a high risk of interethnic conflict.

The poll for 'Dnevnik' was conducted by the Rating Agency in early May on a representative sample of 1,560 respondents.
