The Interior and MV Ministry, within its competencies, in co-operation with the Macedonian Football Federation and other competent bodies, acts towards ensuring the safety of participants.

Only by respecting protocols for protection from the spread of Avid 19 will we help normalise the situation as soon as possible”, the UK communiqué of Macedonia says among other things.
The Interior Ministry is also afraid of incidents that could happen, taking into account the nature and history of the two protagonists of this challenge.
” We call on fan groups, with which most internal departments, i.e. The Department for Prevention, held meetings, refrained from incidents, the use of hate speech or other rule-and-peace breakdowns, because it will be strictly sanctioned”.
