Mickoski Warns of Accountability Over Drinking Water Problems in Gostivar

Prime Minister Hristijan Mickoski has responded to the situation in Gostivar, where many residents have reported stomach problems. He said that institutions have taken the necessary measures and that the case will entail accountability.

According to him, all relevant authorities are currently on the ground, while water samples are being analysed. Mickoski also announced that the Prosecutor’s Office has launched proceedings over the matter.

“At this moment, all institutions are on the ground, measures are being taken, water samples are being tested, and we have a process also being led by the Prosecutor’s Office. I think that very soon information will emerge about what happened, who gave the order for this to happen and, of course, there will be accountability,” Mickoski stressed.

He described it as shocking that certain individuals could act irresponsibly, again underlining that the case would not go without consequences.

“The case will not be left like this. I truly cannot understand how some people can behave so irresponsibly and shamelessly. It is simply unbelievable how easily they accept these things and decide to do such things. For me, all of this is shocking and simply unbelievable, everything that someone did there. But there will be accountability, certainly, and that accountability will naturally have to be determined further within the framework of legal proceedings,” Prime Minister Mickoski said.
