Sources: 4. Developments: 2. The Levica political party in North Macedonia has raised several criticisms regarding land use and resource management in the country. Initially, the party demanded the cancellation of a non-functional technological-industrial zone in Prdejci within the Gevgelija Valley. Levica argued that over 50 hectares of fertile land have remained unused for fourteen years since a 2012 announcement, consisting only of vacant plots and debris. They called for the government to amend planning documentation to return the land to agricultural use for local farmers. Subsequently, Levica criticized the government’s management of the Tikvesh Lake reservoir. The party claimed that current water levels are maintained by failing infrastructure rather than strategic planning, noting that water cannot be released through the Crna River without undermining the foundations of local bridges near Vozarci. They asserted that years of infrastructure neglect have prevented flexible water management for electricity production and irrigation. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-13: Levica criticizes government over Tikvesh Lake water management The Levica party claims North Macedonia's Tikvesh Lake water levels are being maintained by failing bridge infrastructure rather than government strategy, citing erosion risks near Vozarci. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/levica-criticizes-government-over-tikvesh-lake-water-management ### 2026-08-08: Levica demands return of Gevgelija farmland from failed industrial zone The Levica party is demanding that North Macedonian authorities convert 50 hectares of unused industrial land in Gevgelija back to agricultural use after a failed 2012 development project. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/levica-demands-return-of-gevgelija-farmland-from-failed-industrial-zone --- Cite as: Levica party criticisms in North Macedonia.
