The nation is grappling with an escalating fire situation, with an alarming blaze spreading in Pelister National Park, previously reported as localized. The Crisis Management Center confirmed 27 fires across the country in the past 24 hours, with eight remaining active. Adding to the challenges, strong storms swept through the country last night, causing damage in several cities. Meanwhile, in Skopje, funds initially designated for the Vizbegovo Boulevard have been reallocated to the construction of an underpass on the Southern Boulevard. Amidst these events, there's positive news as municipal workers in Tetovo are celebrating the resumption of regular salary payments and the settlement of their health and pension contributions after a decade-long issue. Separately, a quick-thinking bus driver averted a major catastrophe by safely driving a burning double-decker bus to a secure location.
