  COCOROVSKA WON'T COOPERATE WITH MACEDONIAN POLICE

Stanislava Cocorovska-Poletan, the prime suspect in the smuggling of nearly 500 kilos of cocaine, said she is willing to cooperate with the Serbian but not with the Macedonian police.
"I am available for a conversation with the Serbian Ministry of Interior, but the Macedonian police will never take me alive," Cocorovska-Poletan told Belgrade's daily Politika.
Claiming that she is at her apartment in Belgrade, Cocotovska-Poletan denied the allegations that she had orchestrated the transport of 483 kilograms of cocaine, seized last weekend at the border crossing of Blace, on the Macedonian border with Kosovo.
"If I had organized the smuggling, I would have been on the run and would have not been in my apartment with an underage child, my mother and my husband. I was framed. I have never seen the cocaine and I have never smuggled it. Those who smuggle large quantity of cocaine have millions of euros, and I live in an apartment of 70 squared meters," Chochorovska-Poletan said.
She claims that the plastic wall paint containers, in which the cocaine was hidden, were sent by a business partner from Venezuela, a Greek citizen, as a compensation for a 10-year debt.
The three paint containers passed through all customs, but once the containers arrived in Montenegro, "strange things started to happen", she said, adding that the cocaine was planted somewhere in Montenegro or Kosovo or at the Macedonian border.
"The cargo remained at the Montenegrin port city of Bar for several days. I was told that the paint started to spill out of the containers. I said the cargo was probably damaged and I demanded a damaged cargo report.
The second suspected site where the drug might have been planted is Pec, where the UNMIK police had searched the truck for 48 hours. And the last site is the Macedonian border.
"The driver arrived at the border late that night. Macedonian customs officers opened the truck and told the driver they cannot check the truck the same evening. Therefore, he spent the night in Skopje and got back the next morning. Meanwhile, the cocaine was allegedly tracked down," she added.
Cocorovska-Poletan said she was framed by the governing parties in Macedonia, calling them pro-Bulgarian and pro-Albanian.
"This is not the first time they attempted to frame me. They had arrested me in the past claiming that I had allegedly financed the Serbian secret police. They had also alleged that I had spied for Serbian secret police. They also claimed I was behind a plot to assassin the former Macedonian interior minister Ljube Boskovsk, now jailed at the Hague Tribunal. The assassination was allegedly ordered by Serbian state security," Cocorovska-Poletan said.
