Police in Tetovo have launched an investigation into violent clashes involving youth groups that occurred over two separate nights within a single week. The incidents reportedly involved the use of blunt objects.

Authorities are reviewing security camera footage to identify those responsible. Police spokesperson Fatmir Rexhepi stated that officers are taking measures to prevent further escalation, including gathering citizen information and conducting talks with individuals responsible for local football fan groups. The groups involved are suspected to be affiliated with the ‘Vojvodas’ and ‘Ballistët’ factions. 

In response, police have increased their presence at key locations in the city, particularly during evening hours. The investigation aims to identify minors so that parents can be summoned to work with the Center for Social Work to prevent future incidents.
