The European Commission is aware of and condemns the police brutality against people of Roma origin in Bitola last week, MIA correspondent from Brussels reported.
"We strongly condemn any unjustified use of force, we note that the authorities have condemned the incident and have taken steps to open an investigation to bring those responsible to justice," said Enlargement Commissioner Anna Pisonero.
The European Commission has not commented on the investigation or the court proceedings, but emphasizes that its position on police brutality and excessive use of force is a "very clear condemnation".
