Political disputes in Štip municipality

Overview

In Štip, the opposition SDSM, led by president Trajche Stojchevski, has leveled several accusations against Mayor Ivan Jordanov and the ruling VMRO-DPMNE party regarding local governance.

Initially, Stojchevski called for the cancellation of tenders for the sale of state-owned construction land in the ‘Pečurki’ area. He alleged the municipality was selling land at low prices to benefit business interests associated with the ruling party and questioned the transparency of the process, noting that tender conditions had been changed multiple times.

Following these land disputes, the political tension shifted toward a water crisis caused by low rainfall and the failure of the Zletovica hydro system. Stojchevski criticized the administration for neglecting local wells and claimed the government prioritized a 120 million denar park project over essential water infrastructure.
