The telecommunications operator ”Macedonian Telecom” has announced today that it has timely replied to all of the demands made by the Special Public Persecutor and that the operator remains open to further cooperation with the authorities.

Representatives of “Macedonian Telecom” claim that, in accordance with the Law for Electronic communications and the Law for monitoring communications they are obliged to acquire equipment for monitoring communications and to put it into use for the Ministry of internal affairs, but that they have no control nor a possibility to use the equipment by themselves.
