Skopje, 9 September 2025 (MIA) - All state institutions and public legal entities are obligated to replace the registration plates of their official vehicles by September 15 with distinct colored plates. More details are expected at Tuesday's press conference announced by the Government's General Affairs Department. 

The Department's director Ivica Tomovski, Minister of Interior Panche Toshkovski, and Deputy Prime Minister in charge of Good Governance Arben Fetai, as well as heads of other state institutions are to attend the press conference on Tuesday. 

The Government passed the decision at a session on July 29. 

"The goal is clear: increased transparency, accountability and control in the use of official vehicles. This measure will enable citizens to make a clear distinction between official and private vehicles, while also preventing their abuse for personal, private or partisan purposes," the Department said at the time.

A phone line will also be launched in the coming period, at which citizens can report misuse of official vehicles, whereas a central registry of all official vehicles is nearing completion.
