Pendarovski: “Racket” case must be resolved completely and leave no room for doubt


North Macedonia’s President Stevo Pendarovski urged the competent authorities on Monday to resolve ‘Racket’ case as soon as possible and leave no room for doubt.

“In recent days, we have witnessed a major affair that involves speculation, which obviously affects many layers of our society, both economic and criminal and unfortunately political. Moreover, from this position I insist state authorities to resolve ‘Racket’ case as soon as possible. To be resolved completely and leave no room for doubt that someone protects bad practices and criminal businesses from the past, which we know where it led us, President Pendarovski said during his visit to Macedonian Chambers of Commerce.

He said that the EC in 2017 Progress Report defined us as a captive state, mostly due to political polarization, but also because, as he stated “it was known who could do the business and who was not allowed to enter at all in the business.”
