An investigation into the computer system of North Macedonia's Presidential Cabinet has concluded, finding no evidence of unauthorized collection of classified data. However, forensic analyses did identify security and administrative weaknesses within the system that could have posed a risk.
In other news, the opposition Social Democratic Union of Macedonia (SDSM) has accused the government, led by Prime Minister Hristijan Mickoski, of unrestrained budget spending and creating chaos in the healthcare system, specifically blaming newly appointed Health Minister Sašo Klekovski. This comes as patients reportedly face long waits for PET scans and diagnostic delays. Separately, a medical commission found doctors exhibited 'complete blindness' in a case of discrimination against a blind patient.
Public attention has also been drawn to a recent incident in Skopje where a 10-year-old child was attacked by a pack of stray dogs, leading residents to criticize the local animal shelter, 'Laika,' for its ineffectiveness. Meanwhile, apple producers in the Prespa region are holding their harvest in anticipation of a price increase, and the Ministry of Interior has invested in 33 new police motorcycles.
