Last week the streets of Skopje erupted with protests that occasionally turned violent as Macedonia's opposition leader released a stream of incendiary recordings which he claimed showed government cover-ups in two key murder cases.
Anti-government protests were announced as part of a campaign by Social Democrat Party (SDSM) leader Zoran Zaev to prove that the country's Prime Minister, Nikola Gruevski, ordered the illegal wiretapping of 20,000 citizens.
Protesters gathered on Tuesday calling for the resignation of Gruevski and his cabinet, but the focus of the demonstrations shifted towards police brutality after Zaev released tapes that appeared to feature Interior Minister Gordana Jankulovska admitting she knew of an attempt by police and several cabinet members to shield the murderer of 21-year-old Martin Neskovski.
