North Macedonia's Parliament has taken a significant step by adopting a new national strategy with the ambitious goal of reducing traffic accident fatalities and serious injuries by at least 50% by 2030. This initiative marks a proactive approach to road safety across the country.
Meanwhile, local political tensions are evident in Skopje concerning development plans for Vodno, where Mayor Goran Gerasimovski (SDSM) did not attend a public hearing, while Council President Velkovska (VMRO-DPMNE) publicly defended the construction plan. This comes as the capital also grapples with persistent waste management issues despite the recent acquisition of 27 new municipal vehicles.
In other domestic news, health authorities are highlighting a concerning statistic, revealing that only 62% of students have been vaccinated against measles. The country also continues to battle wildfires, with blazes still active near Mavrovo and Struga.
