The increased level of transparency has a positive impact on country’s democratization, allowing citizens to have control over institutions, country’s economic development and Euro-Atlantic integration, PM Zoran Zaev said in a Facebook post.

“Aimed at encouraging accountability, transparency and openness of local self-government, in accordance with the Strategy for Transparency of the Government of North Macedonia, the government at its Wednesday’s session adopted the recommendation of the Commission on Economic Policies that all financial reports (quarterly, semi-annual and annual) that are submitted for review in government, will not be reviewed by the Commission, unless the list of 22 binding information and documents that ensure the accountability of the municipality is not published on their websites,” Zaev said writing on Facebook.
