After reactions from Macedonian citizens fleeing Ukraine, the Interior Ministry decided to waive the requirement of having international car insurance for Ukrainian vehicles.

Refugees protested that, while they faced help along their way from Ukraine to Macedonia, were given food, gas and other supplies, the Macedonian border police demands that they pay about 50 EUR for car insurance.

The Government announced that in two days a bureaucratic solution will be found to exempt Ukrainian vehicles from having the “green insurance card”.
