Considering that the crisis situation declared on the southern and northern borders, related to the migrant crisis, ended last night at midnight and the Parliament did not make a decision to extend it, the legal basis for the Army’s deployment in securing the state border ceased to exist.
President Pendarovski instructed the Chief of General Staff, Lieutenant General Vasko Gjurcinovski, to act in accordance with the newly emerged situation.
The army remains engaged in the planned tasks related to the other declared state of crisis throughout the country due to the pandemic caused by Covid-19.
If the Parliament makes a decision to continue the crisis situation related to the migrant crisis on the southern and northern state borders, the Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces will again order the Army to perform the current tasks.
