AGP Executive Report
Last update: 8 hours agoRegional Security: Iran has removed its self-imposed 2,000km missile-range limit, renewing concerns for Europe, including North Macedonia. Tehran has not disclosed a new limit, and no longer-range test has been independently verified. EU Integration: The European Commission has opened talks to bring North Macedonia into the EU’s “Roam Like at Home” system, which would remove mobile roaming surcharges once rules are aligned. But the latest enlargement report places the country among those making little progress, with constitutional changes still unresolved. Prime Minister Hristijan Mickoski says the government’s position is unchanged and expects a better assessment next year; SDSM calls the report a rebuke of the government, while VMRO-DPMNE points to progress in some areas. Bulgaria Dispute: Bulgarian Foreign Minister Velislava Petrova rejected Skopje’s call for a mediator and urged North Macedonia to abandon what she called an anti-Bulgarian political narrative. Alta Bank: The bank’s troubles continue to fuel a political row. SDSM leader Venko Filipche is demanding Finance Minister Gordana Dimitrieska-Kochoska resign, saying government minutes show she was informed about Alta Bank’s market entry. The National Bank has placed the Bitola subsidiary under administration and capped some cash withdrawals.
