No terrorist camps says MVR

The Macedonian Interior Ministry has denied reports of terrorist training camps on the territory of the Republic of Macedonia.

According to The Voice of Russia, camps exist in Macedonia, Albania and Kosovo with the goal to unite all three countries along with Bosnia under one Islamic state in the Balkans.

The reports come just days after an Albanian from Macedonia died fighting in the war in Syria against Assad's forces. The citizen from Skopje was the second Albanian to die fighting in Syria after a citizen from Gostivar just a few weeks ago.

Media had speculated that the two had links to foreign terrorist groups.
