Skopje, June 10, 2026 – Today, in the Assembly of the Republic of North Macedonia, specifically by the Committee on Education, Science, and Sport and the Legislative Committee, the Statutory Decision Amending and Supplementing the Statute of Mother Teresa University in Skopje was reviewed and adopted.
