VMRO-DPMNE announced it will propose that criminal charges are filed against Skopje Mayor Petre Silegov and the head of the Vodovod water utility company Dusan Veskovski, for rigging of procurement contracts.

For several days, the opposition party has been revealing details of a contract worth 300,000 EUR that Silegov and Veskovski approved with companies linked to the ruling SDSM party. The contracts were formally approved in October 2020, but the companies were already working on them over the summer, indicating that the contract was rigged and the bidding procedure was just a formality.

The public can see what type of criminals these are. One of them is now running for a second term as Mayor of Skopje, and the other is being nominated as Mayor of Karpos, said VMRO leader Hristijan Mickoski.
