Arrests are back on the menu in Macedonia, as the Govenrment is running out of time and needs to force opposition members of Parliament to vote for their little deal with Bulgaria.

Is it the real deal, or is the Embassy just trying to provide some cover for itself, as it orders more arrests of VMRO people?
We're about to find out.
