LSDM MP Fatmir Bytyqi has raised doubts about how Alta Bank access to the northern Macedonian banking market has been allowed, demanding clarification by the Government and the People’s Bank.

On a sign show, Bytyqi said LSDM has raised the issue from about a year and a half, while adding that the case should be seen even in the context of developments in Serbia and possible political and financial impact on northern Macedonia.

It’s good we’re opening this, because this topic isn’t from last week, it’s almost 1 and a half years like LSDM that we’re trying to draw up. It’s only a consequence of the cause, why did Alta Bank leave the country? We said why Alta Bank, not other banks, because Alta Bank is not well-known. Even the owner of Alta Bank has taken a stop at the Central Bank, is on the blacklist, etc. Now we are seeing what happens in Serbia, he was arrested.

The money was somewhere outside the bank. It’s just been checked out. The government and the People’s Bank should provide explanation in Macedonia as allowed. We call this the introduction of corporate capital. Was Alta Bank just an introduction to the impact that the Serbian world’s EC in Macedonia has spoken of and whether it was a payment of a debt the Government had taken from their Vuciqiğlu Patron, Bytyqi said.
