US Congress’ analysts will be reviewing the US Embassy’s democratic assistance to Macedonia

-

Analysts from the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) will be visiting Macedonia in order to conduct fieldwork related to GAO’s review of U.S. democracy assistance to Macedonia, announced the US Embassy in Macedonia.

“GAO is conducting this work at the request of Representative Chris Smith, Chairman, Subcommittee on Africa, Global Health, Global Human Rights, and International Organizations, Committee on Foreign Affairs, and six of his colleagues in the U.S. House of Representatives,” states the press release.

The U.S. Government Accountability Office plans to issue a report in late spring or early summer 2018 and it is expected to be publicly available at that time.

Otherwise, at the start of this year, Congressman Chris Smith accused USAID and the Soros Foundation, that they are spending funds from the donations that are paid by US citizens for financing former communist, lefty and liberal organizations and parties in Europe and Macedonia.

The U.S. Government Accountability Office is a legislative branch government agency of the Congress for auditing, evaluation and investigation services.

It investigates the use of public funds, it evaluates the federal programs and policies and provides analysis and recommendations in order to help Congress to make informed decisions regarding monitoring, policies, and financing.
