Macedonia's Criminal Court in Skopje

Macedonian Court Dismisses Gruevski's Jail Sentence Appeal

Macedonia's Criminal Court in Skopje on Friday rejected appeals filed by former prime minister Nikola Gruevski to postpone his two-year jail sentence for the illicit purchase of a luxury Mercedes.

"The decision has been sent to the parties in the case and will become executive right after the parties receive it," the ruling said.
