2014 Macedonian government building attack

On the night of 28 October 2014, at 22.00 the Republic of Macedonia government building was attacked with what is believed to have been two rocket propelled grenades (RPG), damaging the walls and roof of the building. No casualties were reported. It has been speculated that the event is linked to the recent proclamation of the so-called "Republic of Ilirida". The same building was attacked by RPGs in 2007. The National Liberation Army (NLA), the militant organization that fought against the Macedonian government in the Insurgency in the Republic of Macedonia (2001), claimed responsibly for the attack. In a press release published by Alsat M, an Albanian-language TV station in Macedonia, and signed by "Commander Kushtrim", the organization claimed that the "Hasan Prishtina" elite force hit the government building in a coordinated action. The organization claims it is "discontented" with the 2001 Ohrid Agreement peace plan.

Aftermath

On 21 April 2015, a group of 40 armed men with NLA patches attacked the border police station at Goshince. The group tied the policemen and beat them, then stole the arms and communication devices; they stayed for a couple of hours, filming the event, and before they left for Kosovo, they issued this message through an interpreter:

We are from the National Liberation Army. Tell them that neither Ali Ahmeti nor Nikola Gruevski can save you. We do not want any framework agreement and if we see you here again, we will kill you. We want our own state."

A shootout erupted during a police raid between police forces and an armed group identifying as the NLA occurred on 9 May 2015 in the northern town of Kumanovo.
