On the night of Tuesday, 22.00, October 28, 2014, a shelling of the Macedonian government building occurred, damaging the walls and roof of the building. No casualties were registered. It has been speculated that the event is linked to the recent proclamation of the so-called "Republic of Ilirida". The projectiles were likely fired from a rocket-propelled grenade (RPG) launcher. It was likely the same used in the 2007 attack. The National Liberation Army (NLA), the militant organization that fought against the Macedonian government in the Insurgency in the Republic of Macedonia (2001), claimed responsibly for the attack. The organization, in the letter signed by "Kushtrimi" to the government, claimed that the "Hasan Prishtina" elite force hit the government building in a coordinated action. The organization claims it is discontent with the 2001 Ohrid Agreement.

Aftermath

On 21 April 2015, a group of 40 armed men with NLA patches attacked the border police station at Goshince. The group tied the policemen and beat them, then stole the arms and communication devices; they stayed for a couple of hours, filming the event, and before they left for Kosovo, they issued this message through an interpreter: "We are from the National Liberation Army. Tell them that neither Ali Ahmeti nor Nikola Gruevski can save you. We do not want any framework agreement and if we see you here again, we will kill you. We want our own state."
