MONTHLY OVERVIEW ON HUMAN RIGHTS – January 2025

Several events in the field of human rights took place in January 2025: the Platform of Civil Society Organizations for the Fight Against Corruption reacted strongly to MP Bojan Stojanoski’s attempts to associate this platform with political influences. With compelling arguments against the amendments to the Law on Public Procurement, supported by the State Commission for the Prevention of Corruption and the EU, the Platform requested that Parliament condemn Stojanoski’s actions Impunity, present for decades, has once again led to tragedy.

In January 2025, 22-year-old Frosina Kulakova lost her life. The perpetrator, who had multiple serious offenses, continued to drive without a license, highlighting significant institutional failures.

Citizens are confronted with legal uncertainty and a lackof trust in the system. The state must implement urgent measures to combat corruption and guarantee justice and security.
