🚧 Delays

North Macedonia faces new challenges in its infrastructure development as a fresh contractor is being sought to finalize the National Bank building, a project that has spanned a decade. Concurrently, the Skopje-Blace highway project has encountered significant delays and an additional cost of 27 million euros, highlighting ongoing issues in major public works. The country's European Union aspirations are also in focus, with the EU Commissioner for Enlargement signaling potential alterations to the accession process, which could bring both new opportunities and hurdles for North Macedonia. In legal news, two individuals received a combined 10-year prison sentence for a kidnapping and assault case in Negotino, while communications linked to a Serbian spy have revealed the involvement of an individual from North Macedonia.
