Hundreds of opposition supporters are continuing to camp outside a government building in Skopje, capital of the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia.
They are calling for Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski to go.
It comes in the wake of a long-running wiretap scandal and a recent shootout between police and ethnic Albanian gunmen that left 18 dead in a border town.
“We’re insistent. We demand the prime minister and the entire government resigns. We’re not going away until they tell us that’s he gone,” said one of the opposition supporters.
The demonstrators pitched their tents after an opposition rally on Sunday, which attracted tens of thousands of people.
