Sources: 7. Developments: 2. On 1 August 2026 a ceremony in Debar (Dibër) municipality handed over 47 newly built social‑housing apartments to families that met eligibility criteria. The units, ranging from 34 to 54 m², were allocated to socially vulnerable groups, including children without parental care, recipients of guaranteed minimum assistance, people with disabilities and those affected by natural disasters. The event was attended by Prime Minister Hristijan Mickoski (also reported as Christian Micc...), Transport Minister Aleksandar Nikoloski, the director of the state‑owned housing company Marjan Stefanovski and mayor Fisnik Mela. Financing was described as coming from a €2 million Hungarian credit in one report and from a loan provided by the European Bank for Development in another, reflecting differing accounts of the funding source. Opposition party Democratic Union for Integration criticised the hand‑over as a political photo‑op, claiming the project originated under the previous government. Officials indicated the social‑housing programme will continue in other municipalities, with upcoming allocations announced for Probištip and Sveti Nikole and further construction planned across several towns. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-01: Debar, North Macedonia allocates 47 new social housing units Debar handed over 47 social‑housing units, 34‑54 m² each, funded by a European Bank loan; 85 applicants competed and officials pledged further allocations nationwide. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/debar-north-macedonia-allocates-47-new-social-housing-units ### 2026-08-01: Dibër mayor Fisnik Mela hands over 47 social homes in North Macedonia 47 families in Dibër, North Macedonia received social‑housing keys at a ceremony with PM Mickoski; opposition BDI says the project was started by the previous government. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/dibr-mayor-fisnik-mela-hands-over-47-social-homes-in-north-macedonia --- Cite as: North Macedonia Debar social housing allocation.
