At its 27th press conference on the issue of illegal surveillance in Macedonia, the opposition Social Democrats on Tuesday presented what they claimed were secret police spreadsheets containing data about more than 20,000 eavesdropped persons.

Macedonia's opposition Social Democratic party, SDSM, published seven more conversations on Friday, which the party said showed the arrest of opposition politician Ljube Boskoski was a setup.

Ljube Boskoski, a former Interior Minister and former leader of the United for Macedonia party, was arrested on June 6th 2011, one day after the general elections of that year.
