A criminal complaint has been lodged against Jani Makraduli, the former general director of Macedonian Post, for alleged abuse of duty. He is accused of failing to settle obligations totaling 19.3 million denars to two companies between 2021 and 2022, which reportedly led to the Post incurring nearly 11 million denars in penalty interest. In other political developments, former First Deputy Prime Minister Artan Grubi has proposed summoning all ministers present at a June 2023 government session as witnesses in a court case concerning the purchase of video lottery terminals, excluding Dimitar Kovachevski, who was his replacement at the time. Meanwhile, students in Struga are threatening a boycott of classes due to ongoing issues with unheated schools. The model for the jurisprudence exam is also facing scrutiny, with Minister of Justice Jeton Shasivari's proposal drawing disappointment from students who are considering protests. This follows statements from Prime Minister Hristijan Mickoski confirming a model where theory is taught in Albanian and practice in Macedonian, while the government maintains oral exams will be exclusively in Macedonian.
