President Stevo Pendarovski has decided to deploy the Army, along with the border police, in safeguarding the country’s southern and northern borders.
The decision was reached after the Government declared a state of crisis on part of the territory of North Macedonia due to increased risk of migrant entry and transit, as well as to protect public health from illegal migration amid the COVID-19 pandemic, and following the Government’s proposal that Army members be deployed in managing the state of crisis, the President’s Office said in a press release.
