North Macedonia transport and infrastructure expansion

Overview

The Macedonian government’s multi-year infrastructure and public investment push expanded in August 2026. A budget rebalance redirected fiscal space toward capital investments, increasing them by 5.8 billion denars (14.5%) to support roads, railways, water, sewage, schools, and health facilities. This rebalancing also allocated additional funds to social transfers, education, and agriculture, specifically for water management and production stability, while raising the budget deficit to 4.1% of GDP.

In transport, Deputy Prime Minister Aleksandar Nikoloski announced a new express road project linking Radovis, Strumica, and Novo Selo. Regarding the EU-backed Corridor 8 railway, Nikoloski confirmed financing agreements for the Kriva Palanka–Dve Bar section and a cross-border tunnel with Bulgaria, supported by a €149 million EU grant. Highway expansion remains a focal point, including the Kičevo–Ohrid route and the Prilep-Bitola highway. Connectivity projects have seen recent movement on the Skopje-Blace highway, though the Izvor-Dibër regional road faces delays due to landslides.

However, recent scrutiny has emerged regarding the management of large-scale projects. A State Audit Office report concerning Corridors 8 and 10D revealed that as of December 2023, only 0.12% of the estimated 1.3 billion euro total costs had been allocated to actual construction. VMRO-DPMNE MP Aleksandar Veljanovski has called for a Public Prosecutor investigation, citing serious weaknesses in capital investment management and noting that the state paid millions in commissions for funds that remained unwithdrawn while projects faced delays.

Amidst these developments, the nation marked 35 years of independence. Prime Minister Hristijan Mickoski highlighted the government's reform agenda and efforts to address inherited infrastructure issues, while opposition leaders criticized the pace of progress regarding European integration.

Claims

What the coverage asserts, and how many sources carry each claim.

Coverage disagrees

Sources make claims that cannot both be true. CLSTR reports the disagreement; it does not decide who is right.

  • "The rebalancing adds about 46 billion denars to capital investments, a 14.5 % increase over the initial budget."

    vs

    "An additional 5.8 billion denars are allocated for capital investment, raising total capital‑investment funding to about 46 billion denars."

    The first claim states the rebalancing adds 46 billion denars to capital investments, while the second claim states 5.8 billion denars are added to reach a total of 46 billion denars.
