The proposed gambling law has been withdrawn from parliamentary consideration. Gazeta Express reported on April 1, 2026, at 10:58, detailing this development. Despite substantial government support and considerable public attention surrounding it as a key measure for safeguarding young people, Portalb.mk has learned that the draft legislation allowing for casino prohibitions near schools has been removed from parliamentary procedure.
The North Macedonian Parliament confirmed this to Portalbin, offering no specific explanations for the decision or outlining the potential future of the proposed legislation. A representative from the Parliament stated, “Regarding the draft law on gambling, we confirm that it has been withdrawn from parliamentary procedure.”
Government supporters, notably those affiliated with VLEN, consistently championed this draft. However, the legislation ultimately failed to gain approval.
The withdrawal signifies a halt to the process within the parliamentary system, leaving the future of gambling regulations uncertain.
