Water quality monitoring in Gostivar is regularly managed by the Center for Public Health and the Institute for Public Health. Although recent analyses of the local water supply have not detected pollution, the prosecutor’s office has initiated an investigation into a separate matter concerning the water infrastructure. During a briefing for journalists, prosecutors indicated that confirming the accuracy or falsity of previous reports regarding water quality is currently impossible, as the investigation remains active.
Consequently, the scope of the inquiry is expanding. Authorities plan to conduct additional expert assessments focusing specifically on the methodologies used for sample collection and subsequent analysis. Furthermore, all water analyses conducted over the past two years will undergo a comprehensive review.
The investigation is designed to be thorough; should any irregularities or potential responsibilities involving other individuals or institutions be identified, the inquiry will be broadened to include those parties. Meanwhile, the Water Agency remains involved in the oversight process. The focus remains on establishing the complete integrity of the water safety protocols in Gostivar.
While current testing results indicate that the water is not polluted, the legal proceedings are aimed at reviewing systemic procedures and historical documentation rather than solely confirming immediate contamination levels. These ongoing reviews aim to ensure accountability across all levels of water management in the region.
