New public spending initiatives are under scrutiny today as a 1.6 million Euro parking facility for Members of Parliament and official vehicles is under construction near the Assembly. This comes alongside reports of a significant financial crime, with a banker in Gevgelija accused of stealing nearly 150,000 Euros from client accounts. Meanwhile, a new 'Safe City' system for monitoring foreign-plated vehicles has begun implementation at the Tabanoc border crossing. The country is also grappling with an intensifying wildfire in the Mariovo region, which has shifted direction towards Bitola, prompting Skopje firefighters to join the challenging efforts. The nation is bracing for a scorching day with temperatures expected to reach up to 39 degrees Celsius. Economically, North Macedonia's national debt is reported to be in the middle range compared to other European countries.
