📢 Protest

North Macedonia is mourning the passing of former ambassador and distinguished professor Jovan Donev. Meanwhile, a significant police operation in Skopje has uncovered a large-scale financial fraud scheme related to vehicle registration, with damages estimated to exceed 13 million denars. Political tensions remain high as protesters mark their 95th day of demonstrations, escalating their actions with a call to surround the Prime Minister's office on September 7th. Separately, a proposal suggests the state could cover a portion of loan repayments to address the demographic crisis, and a political commentary questions the Democratic Union for Integration's stance on Gezim Ostreni. In a tragic development, two Taiwanese nationals were discovered deceased in their apartment in Crnice, Skopje. On a brighter note, the country is currently hosting the World Paragliding Championship in Krushevo, an event supported by new EU-funded take-off sites.
