The Mayor of VLEN, Izet Mexhiti, announced that the Parliament of the Republic of North Macedonia voted on the first phase of amendments to the Law on Gambling Games yesterday. Mexhiti stated that this vote signifies the commencement of substantial institutional restrictions aimed at curbing the accessibility of gambling, particularly in relation to children and educational institutions. According to the Mayor, the passage of this initial segment represents the fulfillment of a significant commitment made by VLEN.
He emphasized that the approval of this first phase of the legislation marks a critical step toward reinforcing protections for families against the societal impact of gambling. Mexhiti characterized the development as more than merely a legislative adjustment. He asserted that the law’s approval initiates tangible institutional controls designed to shield vulnerable populations, including minors and students, from the influence of gambling activities.
While acknowledging that the passage is purely a legal action, the Mayor framed it as a necessary societal measure. He expressed anticipation for the full endorsement of the revised Law, suggesting that comprehensive passage will solidify the protective measures introduced in this initial phase. The focus of the stated changes remains on strengthening regulatory frameworks to minimize the negative social consequences associated with unregulated gambling practices within the Republic.
