⛓️ Bribery

A significant development in the fight against corruption emerged today with the arrest of the driver for the General Secretary of Government, Igor Janusev, on bribery allegations. The driver was reportedly caught accepting marked bills in exchange for job mediation, signaling renewed efforts to tackle financial misconduct. In economic news, the country's economy registered a robust 4.3% growth in the second quarter, demonstrating a positive trajectory. This comes as North Macedonia also formally joined the Vertical Gas Corridor initiative, further solidifying its position in regional energy infrastructure. Meanwhile, the BDI party voiced criticism over the recent Independence Day ceremonies, claiming Albanians were overlooked. Urban development in Skopje also remains a point of discussion, with authorities acknowledging that a fully integrated public transport system, allowing a single ticket for city trains and buses, is not yet operational.
