Kriva Palanka Mayor Sasko Mitovski, N.C., employee of the Municipality’s Urbanism, Traffic, and Environmental Protection Department, and S.M, who heads the Municipality’s Urbanism, Traffic, Environmental Protection, and Communal Infrastructure, have been charged with unscrupulous operation within the service.
According to the charge, N.C., on 19 December 2024, acting upon a request to approve the setting up of urban equipment filed by a legal entity (hospitality venue), without determining conditions were met, drew up the approval documentation to set up such equipment in front of business premises on Jane Sandanski Street for the period from 9 December 2024 to 9 December 2025, while Mayor Mitovski and M.K signed off on that approval.
According to the authorities, that way, they enabled the legal entity to set up urban equipment and acquire property gain.
The legal entity and its owner and manager, M.M., have been charged with appropriation of immovables, that is, the latter, according to suspicions, in 2024, as had been the case in previous years, set up urban equipment, tables, chairs, and other decorations outside business premises on Jane Sandanski Street, encroaching state-owned land covering 108.8 square metres which is nonetheless declared property in general use.
Also, M.M. is suspected of, without an approval, setting up an 82-square-metre canopy.
