The municipality of Strumica signed over 70 contracts, worth a total of a million euros, with the company DIKOR, owned by the family of Cvetanka Laskova, adviser to SDSM party leader Zoran Zaev.

Zaev was Mayor of Strumica for over a decade and is suspected of diverting the municipal budget toward his own businesses and those of his associates, said VMRO-DPMNE official Orce Georgievski.
Georgievski said that the DIKOR company, is officially ran by Zoran Ivanov, the son of Cvetanka Ivanova. Zoran Ivanov is co-owner of the OMNI Construction company, together with Trajce Zaev, Zoran Zaev’s powerful cousin, creating a direct link between the contracts approved by the Zaev influenced town hall and Zaev’s family.
