Last update: 6 hours agoRail Infrastructure: North Macedonia has tendered the railway link towards Bulgaria, following a €149 million EU grant. But unresolved funding on the Bulgarian side and a cross-border tunnel mean a continuous connection is unlikely before the early 2030s. Road Construction: A Strabag-led consortium won a €219 million contract for the 11.5-kilometre Bukojčani–Kičevo motorway section on Corridor VIII. Construction is expected to take four years, followed by five years of operation and maintenance. Export Opportunities: The UK added North Macedonia to an expanded export licence for specified dual-use technologies, including some aviation, maritime, IT, semiconductor and quantum-related items. The changes took effect on 14 October; exporters must check whether individual products qualify. EXPO 2027: A Skopje business event highlighted trade and tourism opportunities linked to Belgrade’s expo, with more than 50 business representatives attending. North Macedonia plans a national pavilion and has 850 applicants for the event’s volunteer programme. Energy Security: North Macedonia is among nine countries joining a new Energy Community oil coordination group to share supply data, monitor risks and coordinate responses to potential shortages.
