A 42-year-old man has died in a tragic incident at the Idrizovo Correctional Facility.

According to a statement from the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MIA), the incident was reported to the Skopje Police Department on August 29 at 14:43. N.I. (42) had climbed a pole in the facility’s internal exercise yard, where he touched a live electrical wire.

After coming into contact with the wire, the 42-year-old fell from the pole. An emergency medical doctor who arrived at the scene pronounced him dead.

Police said they are continuing to take steps to fully clarify the circumstances of the incident.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs (MIA) has announced that, in the coming days, the “Safe City” system will initially become operational at the Tabanoc border crossing and subsequently at other border crossings, although a specific date for its full implementation has not yet been set.

The MIA says that within a few days, the system will be active at Tabanoc and will flag all drivers of vehicles with foreign license plates who have been recorded by the authorities as having committed a misdemeanor or criminal offense in the territory of North Macedonia. These individuals will be notified of the violation and issued a report for violating traffic regulations, along with a misdemeanor payment order. They will then be given the option of paying the fine or having the case referred to the relevant court through an expedited procedure. This mechanism will soon be expanded to all border crossings.

While the specific method for enforcing payment orders or conducting court proceedings remains to be clarified, the only real obstacle on the roads for foreign nationals continues to be traffic police patrols, known as interceptors. The MIA emphasizes that these units are continuously present along the main transit routes, specifically Corridors 8 and 10. However, given the high volume of traffic during the summer season, detecting all violations is physically impossible. This is precisely why the “Safe City” system was activated.

According to the announcement, he is reasonably suspected of having committed the criminal offense of “causing general danger,” as provided for in Article 288, paragraph 3 of the Criminal Code.

As stated, on 22.05.2026, the reported police officer fired several shots with a firearm in the yard of his family home during a family celebration and in the presence of a large number of guests, thereby endangering the lives and physical safety of the people present there.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs says that a proposal will also be submitted against Z.R. to initiate proceedings to determine responsibility for violations of workplace order and discipline, while mandatory disciplinary measures will also be imposed, as well as the measure of temporary removal from the workplace until the conclusion of the disciplinary procedure – suspension from duty.

According to the statement, he is suspected of the criminal offense of “pollution of the environment and nature,” punishable under Article 218 of the Criminal Code.

The ministry explained that the case was uncovered after a video was published on social media showing a person who had arrived in a “Citroen” passenger vehicle with Tetovo license plates and was dumping bags containing an unknown waste material into the Shkumbin River, near “Vidoe Smilevski-Bato” Street.

Following this, Tetovo police took the relevant measures and actions, identified the perpetrator and, according to the authorities, he admitted to the act during an official interview.

North Macedonia’s Ministry of Internal Affairs said that the public prosecutor has been notified, and after the case is fully documented, the appropriate charges will be filed against B.S.

Also, one person each in Skopje and Veles was found to have been driving under the influence of alcohol.

“After the full documentation of the cases, appropriate criminal charges will be filed against them.”

“We appeal to all road users to respect traffic rules and regulations, not to drive a vehicle without having passed the driver’s license exam, or if they have been issued a driving ban, or if they are under the influence of alcohol, and for all of us together to contribute to safer traffic,” the Ministry of Internal Affairs said.
