Skopje, 4 November 2024 (MIA) - Interior Minister Panche Toshkovski said Monday the Interior Ministry would check the reports on 500 officials suspected of having done something that is not in line with the legal provisions.

Toshkovski made the statement when asked if the Interior Ministry would check the English certificate of the head of the National Security Agency, Bojan Hristovski, which is alleged to be invalid. He said the Interior Ministry would act in line with the legal provisions and that actions are being taken in several procedures.

“The Interior Ministry has taken actions in several procedures in the past period, they are like a final action of previous preliminary actions that lasted much longer than a dozen days. So, I believe that we will act within the framework of our competencies,” the Minister told journalists on Monday.

The head of the National Security Agency, Bojan Hristovski, is being investigated due to allegations that his English language certificate had been forged. Hristovski is alleged to have a TOEFL certificate issued by a non-existent examination center in Plovdiv, Bulgaria.
