According to him, unlike in previous years when in some cases citizens waited up to four hours, waiting times now reach a maximum of one hour.

Toshkovski stressed that one positive example of how a border crossing is functioning is Tabanoc. He said that the transit time for citizens, which previously involved waits of up to 4 hours, has in recent days been reduced to a maximum of half an hour. According to him, in the coming period, with the increase in traffic and on the busiest days, waiting times are expected to reach up to 1 hour, but under no circumstances return to the levels of previous years, when people waited more than 4 hours. He also added that the number of travelers passing through this border crossing in transit has increased by about 15 percent.

Presenting a report on the work carried out over the past two years, Toshkovski stressed that in the period from February 2 to June 22, 2026, 33 traffic fatalities were recorded, while in the same period last year the number stood at 55.

He also explained that from February 2, when the system began to be implemented, until June 22, more than 120,000 traffic violations were detected through “Safe City.” According to him, more than 95 percent of these cases are related to exceeding the speed limit.

Toshkovski said that “Safe City” was a project that had been discussed for years, but has now been implemented. He stressed that the project included the modernization of the existing system in Skopje, Tetovo, Kumanovo, and on Corridors 8 and 10, as well as its expansion nationwide through modern video surveillance technologies and the automatic detection of traffic violations.

According to him, in line with the planned timeline, the “Safe City” system is expected to be fully implemented across the entire territory of the country by the end of 2026. This rollout will include the largest cities and main roads, with the aim of building a modern, efficient, and preventive system to improve traffic safety, Zhurnal.mk reports.

During the interpellation held against him in Parliament, he clarified that Kuculovski was directing those chants at children aged 14 and 16.

“I did not want to make this kind of information public, but this is the fact. Now, what should the police have done, fixed his hair?” Toshkovski told “The Left” MP Jovana Mojsoska.

At the end of April, the Interior Ministry published a statement saying that the leader of “The Left” youth wing had displayed a Palestinian flag at the match and that, in accordance with the law, the aim had been to prevent violence and inappropriate behavior./Telegrafi/

He stresses that through this move, Levica has once again shown that, knowingly or not, it is becoming the most useful ally of SDSM and DUI.

After Levica announced the interpellation, Toshkovski reacted on his Facebook profile, where he wrote that this is the third interpellation announced against him in less than two years. According to him, like the two previous cases, this one was also presented through a staged press conference, more as a cheap political performance than on the basis of substantive arguments.

According to Toshkovski, the interpellation is a democratic right of the opposition, which he says he fully respects.

“I have neither run away from debate nor will I run away from it. On the contrary, I will face the arguments where I should, in Parliament, publicly, before all MPs and before the citizens. There, everyone will have the opportunity to say what they think, and the decision will be made by the elected representatives of the people, in accordance with their conscience and responsibility. But I also cannot remain silent about something that has long been clear to the citizens. Levica has shown once again that, knowingly or unknowingly, it is becoming the most useful ally of SDSM and DUI. The same parties against which they built an image of being an alternative and promised different policies, today they are practically defending them through attacks on anyone who tries to establish order, accountability, and the functioning of the system,” Toshkovski wrote.

In his address, Toshkovski stressed that migration should not be viewed as a distant political issue, but as a reality felt every day by states, institutions, and citizens.

He said that migration is seen at borders, in communities, and in people’s lives, adding that over the years Macedonia has understood that the proper management of this challenge requires continuous investment in human resources, improvements to border infrastructure, and close cooperation with neighboring countries and European agencies.

Speaking about the European Union’s new Pact on Migration and Asylum, the minister emphasized that its successful implementation is possible only if the Western Balkan countries are actively involved in the process of alignment and implementation of the new policies.

According to Toshkovski, the pact cannot have its full effect if it is implemented only within the European Union while the Western Balkan countries are left alone to face the consequences and difficulties. He called for real cooperation, sustainable financial support, operational assistance, and formal partnership mechanisms that would ensure the harmonization of legislation, the exchange of information, and joint activities.

The minister added that North Macedonia remains committed to modernizing border management, developing the concept of smart borders, strengthening training and information exchange with partner institutions, as well as protecting vulnerable categories of citizens and combating the smuggling of migrants.

Several thematic sessions are expected during the meeting, focusing on preparations for the Fifth Ministerial Conference of the Prague Process and the new 2028–2032 Action Plan, current migration policies in the region, as well as concrete measures and actions to address migration challenges.

The request for this interpellation was submitted in May by the left-wing opposition, which accuses Toshkovski of obstructing investigations, selective justice, unprofessional police work, and a conflict of interest.

According to Gashi, one day after the interpellation on Minister Toshkovski is considered, Parliament will hold its regular parliamentary question session for the prime minister and ministers. He also said that the revised 2026 Budget is expected to arrive in Parliament tomorrow.

Regarding the session at which MPs will vote on the reshuffled composition of the Government, Gashi said it will be scheduled after the Government submits the proposal to Parliament.

“Without having a proposal for changes to the Government Cabinet, we cannot prejudge anything. It depends on whether there will be a new proposal and when it will be submitted,” the Parliament Speaker said.
