Prosecutors have brought charges against nine people in the Puls corruption case, including the brother of the president of the Skopje Criminal Court. The allegations of bribery and leaked official secrets center on tax inspections at a local discotheque. It is the kind of case that tests the judiciary’s appetite for self-policing; the court now faces the task of trying a close relative of its own chief.
The opposition Social Democratic Union claims the latest budget revision leaves no room for a minimum wage increase, a move they argue prioritizes accounting over people. Meanwhile, the police reported a busy few days, suspending six officers after an operation in Saraj and seizing 470 kilograms of meat from an unregistered refrigerator.
Prime Minister Hristijan Mickoski called the leader of Serbia's Student List to offer congratulations on their electoral victory. While the Prime Minister spoke of regional cooperation, his party’s spokesperson was less diplomatic, taking the opportunity to remind voters of the former leadership’s history of shared parties and marijuana shipments with the outgoing Serbian president.
