The President of the Economic Chamber, Branko Azeski, paid a working visit and held a meeting with Fatmir Etemi and Aco Duduloski, along with part of their team at Skopski Pazar AD Skopje. The meeting with Etemi and Duduloski—majority shareholders in Skopski Pazar and, individually, owners of ZSF KOM DOOEL and ONE CABLE FJ DOO (Fatmir Etemi), and Sovremen Dom (Aco Duduloski)—focused on current issues in the business sectors in which they operate.

An open discussion was held on the state of the construction sector, the business environment in which companies operate, conditions for conducting trade, and the opportunities and potential for exports in the metal, and electrical and electronics industries. They also addressed the shortage of skilled labor, which was highlighted as one of the key prerequisites for the effective functioning of companies. In his conversation with President Azeski, Etemi emphasized that there is indeed potential for business development in the sectors in which he operates through his companies, but there are also numerous obstacles that hinder operations and stall progress. Particular emphasis was placed on the slow issuance of building permits, the circumvention of legal regulations, and a visibly high level of the grey economy, which, as he pointed out, primarily harms the state due to reduced tax revenue in the budget.
