Skopje, 16 December 2024 (MIA) - Prime Minister Hristijan Mickoski told a TV21 interview on Monday that former First Deputy Prime Minister Artan Grubi left the country for Kosovo on Sunday in a diplomatic vehicle alongside another person.

“Based on my information, the former head of State Lottery has been out of the country for quite a while. While the former deputy prime minister left Macedonia and headed to our northern neighbor, Kosovo, on Sunday, alongside a businessman in a vehicle with diplomatic license plates,” Mickoski said.

In the interview, the Prime Minister noted that the Government has adopted a decision to continue the realization of corridors VIII and X-d to avoid the country having to pay millions in penalties for a cancellation of the “Bechtel-Enka” project.

“I continue to assess it as the most criminal project. If I cancel it now, it will cost you, us, and our future generations, millions. That’s why I took the political bullet and decided that we should solve this as soon as possible,” Mickoski said.
