HeadCount

As North Macedonia prepares to carry out its first headcount in almost 20 years, the likely impact of the results on the rights of the country's largest ethnic minority is in the spotlight.

The next national headcount should be held in April 2021 instead of April 2020, the State Statistical Office suggested in a statement on Tuesday - again postponing the task of holding a census, which has been delayed for many years.

It said that it will make the suggestion to the Justice Ministry, which should send new census legislation for parliament.
