Macedonia: Coping With Ice and Snow in Skopje

Categories: Eastern & Central Europe, North Macedonia, Disaster, Environment, Governance

GV Author Filip Stojanovski posts pictures of Skopje's snowy and icy streets and reports [1] on his blog: “[…] the pavements and the side streets in the municipality of Centar remain icy. Some are covered by layers of ice or re-frozen slush, by old frozen snow, or an unevenly hardened mash of snow and ‘salt.’ Fokus daily claimed that the authorities avoid declaring nationwide state of emergency in order to ‘prove’ that they were prepared for the snow.”
