The Anti-Corruption Commission (DKSK) finalized its decision which determines that opposition leader Hristijan Mickoski lawfully and without abuse of office built the several hydro plants built near Berovo and Pehcevo.
Mickoski was dragged before the Commission by the ruling SDSM party, in an attempt to obscure the on-going actions by SDSM appointed Deputy Prime Minister Koco Angusev to receive publicly owned land for his companies which also deal with building small hydro plants. Angusev would not recuse himself from the decision making process, and DKSK proposed that he is investigated.
In response, SDSM claimed that Mickoski also abused his position, as energy adviser to former Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski, to help his Energotek company build its plants. The Commission found that the decisions to allow Energotek to build the plants were made almost a year before Mickoski was named adviser and therefore he couldn’t have influenced the procedure.
From the documents we obtained in the course of our investigation, it is clear that at the time when the contract for bidders willing to build small hydro plants on the proposed 80 locations was made public, Hristijan Mickoski was in no way engaged by the Government, nor by the ELEM public energy company, the DKSK report, published today by Republika, concludes.
