The Parliament of North Macedonia reported Thursday that the members of the Committee on Supervision of the Work of the Agency for National Security (ANS) conducted insight into the work of the agency, but are not able to provide details to the public due to the classified nature of the information.
The insight follows the publication of allegations that between 2019 and 2024, PM Hristijan Mickoski and some other people from the then opposition have been illegally followed by ANS officials.
From the Parliament they report that the MPs had a meeting with ANS Director Bojan Hristovski, who informed them of the findings about the allegations, and that all documents related to this case have been sent to the Public Prosecutor’s Office (PPO) for further investigation.
In meantime, PM Mickoski commented on the demands of the opposition for declassification of the documents in question, saying that PPO has its own procedures for cases like this one.
“It is all in the hands of PPO now, henceforth I would withhold myself from any further comments”, Mickoski said.
President Gordana Siljanovska Davkova also commented on the latest ANS affair, saying that the security system of the country are strictly professional institutions in which there is no room for political or party associations and actions, and that it is also not an arena for rows between the political parties.
“I can promise, as a President, that I shall never allow, not even for a moment, for the inner and outer security of the country to be endangered”, Siljanovska Davkova said.
