Defense Minister Vllado Misajllovski underscored Macedonia’s vigilance regarding the ongoing conflict in Iran during an interview on TV21’s “Click Plus.” He affirmed the position previously articulated within the Security Council, asserting that the current situation remains stable. However, he strongly emphasized the critical requirement for prudence concerning potential economic ramifications. Misajllovski specifically highlighted the precariousness of the Strait of Hormuz, noting that it carries approximately one-fifth of worldwide oil traffic.
He cautioned that disruptions within this vital waterway could significantly impact Macedonia. The minister explained that while the security within the country is presently stable, careful consideration of economic signals is paramount. “The security in Macedonia is stable, but we must be careful of potential economic indicators,” he stated.
“This is where we will feel the absolute reflection.” This concern is readily observable, particularly at fuel stations, where citizens are experiencing a noticeable surge in energy and fuel prices. Such a shock would undoubtedly affect many residents.
