On i Stamboliski proglašeni su krivim zbog odobravanja neplanirane nabavke rezervnih dijelova za vojne tenkove T-55 krajem 2001. godine, samo par mjeseci nakon što je u okviru Ohridskog sporazuma dogovoren formalni prekid vatre između pobunjenih etničkih Albanaca i makedonskih sigurnosnih snaga.
He and Stamboliski were convicted of approving an unplanned supply of spare parts for T-55 army tanks in late 2001, only a few months after a formal ceasefire had been negotiated between ethnic Albanian rebels and Macedonian security forces under the Ohrid Agreement.
