The population census is postponed to April 2021, Telma reports. The Director of the State Statistical Office Apostol Simovski met Monday with Prime Minister Zaev and it was agreed that there is no room to postpone the Census for the following autumn, after the elections, since 2020 is still an election year. Statistics will submit a proposal to the Ministry of Justice by the end of this week requesting a postponement of this operation to 2021.

The census was originally scheduled for April 1 to April 30, 2020, but due to the early parliamentary elections scheduled for April 12 it must be postponed.
