Following in the footsteps of Radmila Sekerinska, Slavjanka Petrovska sends staff on missions outside the Republic of Macedonia without respecting the basic conditions, which is for the candidates to have NATO security clearance certificates. Officers are sent on missions without fulfilling the necessary conditions, only if they are related to the political leadership, Mile Lefkov from VMRO-DPMNE said a press conference on Friday.

According to our information, the country has a case of a serious security omission when a senior ARM officer was returned from the KFOR mission in Kosovo. Namely, there are indications that the services had certain information that the officer does not meet the criteria, however, after some political influence from former politicians from the same village where he comes from, the village of Murtino, Strumica, the officer left for a mission without a security clearance certificate. This is not the first time such a security omission has been made, we remind you that there was a similar situation in the ISAF mission in Afghanistan, when people were sent without security clearance certificates, who could not perform any activities, could not even move freely through the bases, says Lefkov.

He added that in the latest scandal, after five months on a mission, the officer was forced to return early by order of NATO, but the question arises as to who will take responsibility for the damage to the budget in the amount of 50,000 euros on the basis of salaries, logistics costs and administrative costs?
