Over the judges matter, the SCPC will inform the Judicial Council.

“We’ve found states from which suspicions arise about use of bribery and abuse of official position and authority by the current and then-Mayor, Ramiz Merko. The head of the commission for expropriation of the land, a Municipality employee,” SCPC President Biljana Ivanovska stated on Monday.
