The right of protesting is a democratic one but any violent behavior will not be tolerated, said Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski on Thursday at a press conference here.
A new round of rally against the life imprisonment sentenced to six ethnic Albanians for the murder of five FYROM fishermen near Smilkovo Lake in 2012 will be organized on Friday through social network.
About 2,000 people gathered in FYROM's capital Skopje last Friday to protest against the ruling.
The stone-throwing protestors was dispersed by riot polices' tear gas and water canon. About 20 policemen and demonstrators were injured and six demonstrators were detained, the FYROM Interior Ministry said.
The tensions between ethnic Albanians minority which accounts for a quarter of the population and the FYROM majority spread over the state and several protests followed in other cities of FYROM.
FYROM was on the brink of a civil war in 2001 as the ethnic Albanians seek greater rights. Under US-EU brokered negotiations, ethnic Albanians swapped uniforms to suits and formed ethnic Albanian Democratic Union for Integration (DUI) party which is now the junior coalition party in FYROM.
