Macedonia probes arms scandal
The office gave no details of Buckovski's alleged involvement.On Tuesday, a former army chief of staff, retired Gen. Metodi Stamboliski, 60, was arrested on suspicion of ordering four times the quantity of tank parts required by the armed forces in November 2001, costing the state €1.8 million (US$2.5 million).
The arms deal was signed after a conflict between Macedonian government forces and ethnic Albanian rebels in 2001. The six-month conflict is blamed for the deaths of 80 people.
Buckovski was defense minister when the order was signed. He then served as Social Democrat prime minister between 2004 and 2006, when the party was defeated in elections by Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski's conservatives.
