Parliament’s building has received a shielded room, which will be used for storage of and working on state-secret documents. There, meetings over classified and sensitive topics will be held as well.
DCAF Skopje’s Vlado Gjerdovski said on Monday it would be a guarantee when it came to the democratic process, as well as a place where people would be able to have critical conversations without fearing they would be compromised, adding that that would ensure that decisions on national security would be made in an environment of confidence and confidentiality.
Only persons with a security certificate will be able to enter, in line with strict protocols. The project to build the area started in 2020 and cost around one million euros. It was implemented by DCAF and funded by the EU, Switzerland, Sweden, and the Netherlands.
