A new wave of corruption investigations has led to indictments against six individuals implicated in a fake driver's license scheme, with 21 more under investigation. This development marks a distinct focus from previous corruption probes and highlights continued efforts against illicit activities in the country.
Economically, North Macedonia faces a pressing challenge to accelerate its technological development, as a recent report underscores a significant gap in the regional AI and data center race, with neighboring countries like Greece and Bulgaria making substantial investments. Meanwhile, urban development in Skopje sees a positive turn with plans to transform a large former landfill in Butel into a new green park, aiming to improve environmental conditions and residents' quality of life.
Separately, a cultural infrastructure project, the new facilities for the Jazz Orchestra, has encountered a delay and is now expected to be completed in October.
