The MOI today announced that the Sector for Cybercrime and Digital Forensics has submitted criminal charges against V.Z (67) from Skopje, for “endangering the security” through an information system. On 25.07.2019, the above-mentioned person, through his user name posted a comment with threatening contents against the Prime Minister of the Republic of North Macedonia. “Only a bullet for you bastard, which I would eagerly pull without betting an eye”, read the message that Zaev read from his mobile phone before the MPs in Parliament.
Census
“I am definitely not accepting postponement of the census for 2021”, said Prime Minister Zoran Zaev for the announced meetings with the opposition this week, where the Law on the census will be discussed, BUT from the opposition VMRO-DPMNE they insist that the census be carried out in 2021. According to MP Ilija Dimovski, the law is imprecise, and they propose changes that he called principle matters. For starters, they do not have trust in the Director of the State Statistical Office, and that is why they are demanding for the operation to be led by a body of academics and professionals, who will be elected in Parliament.
