Macedonian Prime Minister Hristijan Mickoski announced the plans to establish a special team and a hotline that would allow citizens to report corruption.
Mickoski said citizens would be able to report being asked for a bribe or if someone is intentionally delaying something they owe to the citizens. After the report, Mickoski said the investigative bodies would contact them and “all deviant behavior within the institutions will drop, while the perpetrators face justice”.
“I believe in the presumption of innocence, and no one is guilty until proven otherwise, but for all those for whom there are founded suspicions of crime and firm evidence, they will all face justice and their political affiliation won’t matter,” said the PM. This, Mickoski added, applies to all elected and appointed officials, regardless of if they are from the previous or current Government.
