Panel to investigate incident in Macedonian parliament

Parliament decided on last Friday to establish an inquiry committee to investigate an incident in parliament on July 1st that has strained relations between the opposition and the ruling majority. The panel will have 60 days to investigate the matter and to present its report to parliament. The opposition SDSM accused police of intimidating their legislators and spying on their activities after a police agent tried to record their conversation with a group of disgruntled workers at the beginning of the month.
