The BDI and ASh, alongside Më Mirë për Tetovën, have leveled serious accusations against the municipality, alleging a deliberate push for water privatization. These groups view the local government as manipulative, as detailed in Maqedona Gazeta Express’s report on March 28, 2026, at 12:19. The escalating debate concerning water meters within Tetovë has intensified dramatically.
The Integration Democratic Union and the initiative Më Mirë për Tetovën are specifically blaming the municipality for actively pursuing the privatization of this essential service. Conversely, the local authorities are rejecting these accusations, characterizing them as purely political strategies. The discussion surrounding water meter installation and the incorporation of private sector involvement has broadened into a wider conversation about public oversight, transparency, and accountability in the management of water resources.
This situation has generated considerable anxiety among citizens, who are worried about the potential consequences for their water bills. Gazeta Express, via Portalb.mk, highlighted these concerns, emphasizing the possible impact of these changes. A municipal councilor’s statement further fueled the debate.
