In Macedonia, the infrastructure sector is one of the key drivers of economic growth and of attracting foreign and domestic investments. In this regard, infrastructure is considered a priority sector, and the Government is actively working on creating a favorable business environment.

The Director of the Public Enterprise for State Roads (PESR), Koce Trajanovski, participated in the business forum “Business Opportunities and Investments,” with a special focus on the sectors of infrastructure, energy transition, circular economy, technological innovations, and Industry 5.0. The event was organized by the Embassy of the Republic of Italy in Skopje and the Italian Trade Agency (ITA).

In his address, he emphasized that the construction and modernization of road infrastructure in Macedonia is in full swing, and that although previously started expressway projects have been completed, work is progressing rapidly on all other projects outlined in the 2025 Annual Program.

“This is very important because we believe our strategic advantage lies in being a natural crossroads of two very significant corridors—Corridor 8 and Corridor 10. That’s why we need modern roads, high-speed railways, improved public services, and digital connectivity. This is crucial because I feel that in the past, very little attention was paid to infrastructure development and maintenance, which has left us poorly connected with the surrounding regions. Macedonia is currently in an investment cycle where things have started to move in a positive direction—shifting from a phase of stagnation to a phase of road construction. We are opening work fronts for all our project contractors and expect from them to respond with full commitment, keeping pace with our momentum. Our citizens deserve to travel on roads that are modern, safe, and newly built,” said PESR Director Koce Trajanovski in his address.
