admin1 – October 14, 2008 – 12:57pm

One person sustained minor injuries and four Macedonians were detained following the clash between inhabitants of the Florina region in Greece and the Greek Army on Monday. The local population protested 10 days ago against the Greek Army’s military drills in this region, after which the Greek troops withdrew. Yesterday the Greek Army returned to this region, reinforced with strong police forces and mechanized army vehicles. When the local population tried to stop them, the Greek police special forces intervened.
