“The voice trembled, asked for help, said children are crying”, Gashi tells details about communication with Osman about the incident at Skopje Airport.

So said North Macedonia Assembly Chairman Africa Gashi this Tuesday, after being questioned by reporters about the Kosovo presidency incident Vjosa Osmani at Skopje Airport earlier this month.

He told me that the children were very scared and crying. I had to help. I don't know which person would not help if someone prayed for help”, Gashi indicated.

While on August 1st, Bekim Kupina, Osman's adviser, had stressed that at Skopje Airport, the security president has attempted to obtain his personal phone, but stressed that Osman has refused, as she faced resistance from the Macedonian side.

Contrary to international practices and the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, the security of Skopje Airport has attempted to get the president's personal phone. The president has not allowed such a thing, because it would be a serious offense”, said in response.

He had indicated that despite explaining the rules that the president's team has informed the airport official, “security has physically attempted to push the President by what he's forced to react to Kosovo police to open the” road.

This behaviour of the Macedonian airport official is contrary to any international practice, under which when state leaders travel, they are protected with diplomatic privileges and immunity. Contrary to these rules, the Macedonian side has taken the president's personal hand bag”.

The arrogant and violent manner of Skopje Airport official is unprecedented and has never occurred on any visit to the president anywhere in the world, including in non-recognitional states”.

Kupina has added that it has clearly been noted that in the case, there was a tendency to provoke Kosovo's delegation and trigger the incident, until Osmani had announced the Speaker of the Assembly Gashi to seek help.

But, Skopje Airport through a media communique had announced that employees under international regulations have a legal obligation to conduct security control over all passengers, luggage and goods in flights from Skopje International Airport.

“Therefore, TAV Macedonia's Security Department, under its competencies, has made standard control of the passenger's safety mentioned as well as its luggage, at the security checkpoint at VIP (4)x1).

According to Skopje Airport with this aviation security incident has not been threatened, since the event occurred in the airport's public space. /Albanianpost. com/
