After publishing the wiretapped conversations, experts said that if the wiretapping was done by Macedonian security services, or the Headquarter of the Security and Intelligence as the leader of the opposition Zoran Zaev claims, it cant be done without involvement of the mobile operators in the country, including Tmobile.
On the other side, with the law on Electronic Communications passed in February last year, the mobile operators are obliged to provide and maintain the equipment at their own expense and to establish electronic communication lines for transmission to the competent institution that is authorized to monitor.
