Skopje, 13 November 2023 (MIA) - Police officers have detained a 19-year-old Slupchane villager after finding 12 migrants from Nepal in his vehicle near the Kumanovo village of Orashec early on Monday.

After failing to stop at the police signal at the Tabanovce-Kumanovo motorway section, the driver took an exit onto regional road Kumanovo-Sveti Nikole. After entering Orashec village, he tried to flee but was soon caught by the police officers, who later found the migrants in the vehicle, the Ministry of Interior said in a press release.
