💧 Flooding

Brussels left the country out of its current projections for European Union accession, a list that still includes Albania, Montenegro, Moldova and Ukraine. Foreign minister Timčo Mucunski said the government will keep trying to resolve its dispute with Bulgaria, but asked the EU to provide some predictability in return. A burst pipe flooded the former Nova Makedonija building, cutting power to several government ministries housed inside. Separately, six people were arrested on suspicion of terrorism; investigators reportedly found sniper rifles and pistols. A man accused of murdering four women confessed to three of the killings at a court in Kumanovo. In the municipality of Gorche Petrov, a primary school squeezed 36 first-graders into a single merged class. Local authorities confirmed the arrangement complies with the law.
