Muhamed Zeqiri, former Secretary General of the Government, has been sentenced to one year and seven months in prison for abuse of duty. This marks a significant development in ongoing efforts to address corruption.
In local elections, official first-round results for the Brvenica mayoral race confirmed that Stojančo Radichevski of VMRO-DPMNE and Arkin Jahij of NAI will advance to a second round. Radichevski secured 2,945 votes, while Jahij received 2,152 votes, with candidates having 48 hours to file appeals. Separately, Parliament extended the crisis state for fuel until April 2027.
Additionally, Deputy Prime Minister Aleksandar Nikoloski highlighted the political significance of the government's infrastructure initiatives, stating that the country's survival is guaranteed upon the completion of infrastructure corridors. A report also brought attention to the neglected state of Partisan war graves in Bitola.
