The necessity of implementing the measures stems from the wide room for corruption in illegal construction and town planning, which is suggested by the thousands of illegal constructions, as well as the great percentage of apartment and office blocks among the illegal constructions, which supports the thesis of an illegal business rather than solving individual housing issues.
During the workshop, expert opinions were expressed by Vanja Mihajlova, Miroslav Grcev, Ph.D., and Miroslav Markovski, but their views were also shared by representatives from the Association of Chambers of Commerce of Macedonia, the State Anti – corruption Committee, the Municipality of Gjorce Petrov, the Association of Local Self – government Units, the City of Skopje, etc. The measures for narrowing the room for corruption in the illegal construction may be found in the reports section or here.
