AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

West Nile alert: North Macedonia reported 43 West Nile fever cases, with 40 fully confirmed and three positive on a single test; the first infections were logged in Skopje districts Centar and Čair, and authorities also detected the virus in a dead crow while stepping up mosquito-control spraying. Regional health picture: The EU health agency says 12 European countries have now recorded locally acquired West Nile virus cases this year, urging stronger mosquito control as there are no approved human vaccines or specific treatments. Diplomacy and protocol: Albania’s PM Edi Rama rejected a nationalist response after Albania’s anthem was omitted at an event attended by North Macedonia’s PM, while Albania’s Foreign Ministry called the omission a serious breach of protocol. Migration pressure: Bulgarian border police detained 35 Afghan migrants in a van near the border; the driver is a 22-year-old North Macedonian, and migrants were held under new screening rules. EU funding update: Albania leads the Western Balkans in EU Growth Plan funding so far, while North Macedonia has received €141 million by May 2026.
