North Macedonia Spatial Planning Agency reports strategic progress

Aleksandar Gelevski, director of the Spatial Planning Agency (ZNAM), presented the institution's results for 2025 and ongoing activities for 2026. A primary focus is the Draft Spatial Plan of North Macedonia for the 2021–2040 period, which saw a supplemented version submitted to the Ministry of Environment and Spatial Planning in May 2026.

The agency reported significant operational milestones, including the preparation of 435 spatial planning conditions and urban documentation for key projects such as the Tabanovce and Bogorodica border crossings, St. Paul Airport, and the first phase of the General Urban Plan for Kumanovo.

Financially, the agency achieved its highest pre-tax profit in five years while reducing expenditures. Additionally, institutional integrity scores improved significantly, rising from 15.3% in 2024 to 71.15% in 2025, according to the State Commission for Prevention of Corruption. The agency also received the Vladimir Machura Grand Prize at the 34th International Urbanism Salon in Zrenjanin for its work on the national spatial plan.
