LSDM deputy Oliver Spasovski stated that the recent incident involving contaminated water in Gostivar highlights systemic failures within governmental institutions when citizens require assistance. According to Spasovski, the situation in Gostivar mirrors previous inadequate responses, suggesting a lack of fundamental improvement since the Kočan tragedy. Speaking on TV Channel 5, Spasovski criticized the pattern of delayed reactions, institutional silence, and the evasion of accountability observed in the Gostivar contamination case.
He asserted that responsibility must be assigned across all competent bodies, including the central government, local authorities, and public health institutions, which are legally mandated to respond promptly. Spasovski stressed that the accountability for the events in Gostivar extends across all administrative levels, from the central government down to local municipal bodies. He indicated that the lack of clear accountability at any level remains a significant concern.
The deputy’s comments underscore a broader criticism regarding the preparedness and responsiveness of public health and governmental structures. The sequence of events, from the Kočan tragedy to the current situation in Gostivar, has led Spasovski to argue that comprehensive accountability is necessary to ensure timely and effective public protection measures.
