Skopje, 8 March 2023 (MIA) - Strengthening the judiciary in the country, at all levels, is a top priority for the U.S. Embassy, for me personally and for Washington, said U.S. Ambassador to North Macedonia, Angela Aggeler on Wednesday during her visit to the Basic Public Prosecutor’s Office in Skopje.
 
On her visit to the Investigative Center at the Prosecutor’s Office, which received a donation of computer equipment and technical equipment from the U.S. Embassy, Aggeler said that this is a good system and expressed her conviction that interoperability will lead to an improvement in efficiency.

“I’ve been here since November and corruption has been present in the country for a long time. This is not an issue that can be solved in a couple of months and there are already systems that require inspection. Which is why today’s visit is good, to see how the investigations are being led,” said Aggeler.

We want to be partners with this country, stressed Aggeler, so we will demonstrate that this system is here for your citizens.

“This takes time. It is not something that a single computer system can solve, but it is a priority and if I have a single goal as an Ambassador to this country, it is to make sure that I am doing everything that I can, together with my team, to strengthen the Macedonian citizens’ trust in the judiciary,” said Aggeler.

The President of the Basic Public Prosecutor’s Office – Skopje, Gavril Bubevski, expressed his gratitude for the donation, which he said will help with the daily affairs of the institution, with the end goal of enabling the citizens’ trust in the institutions, the system and in receiving justice.

“This is a serious donation which will help with the daily work of the institution, and we will be able to work with certain evidence much faster,” said Bubevski.

We hope, said Bubevski, that the cooperation with the U.S. Embassy will continue through courses and further assistance. ad/sk/
