Skopje, 15 august 2025 (MIA) - A dozen of candidates have applied at the call for the vacant post of State Commission for Prevention of Corruption (SCPC) chairperson, which closes on Friday.

Gjorgjija Sajkoski, chair of the Parliament's Committee on Election and Appointment Issues, has told MIA that the final number of candidates will be known on Monday, once the applications sent by post arrive, while adding that the procedure on the election of the SCPC chair will continue after the end of the local elections.

The Committee on Election and Appointment Issues issued the public call after Tatjana Dimitrovska resigned from the SCPC chairwoman's post on July 25 over allegations of corruption. Parliament accepted her resignation on July 29.

Charges against the nation's anti-corruption watchdog agency head were filed on July 18, when the Public Prosecutor’s Office for Prosecuting Organized Crime and Corruption accused Dimitrovska of disclosing official secrets and of having a fake security clearance certificate.
