The Makedonske Zeleznice – Infrastruktura public company owes EUR9.7m, stemming from foreign currency loans, while the government has already decided to look for a creditor for EUR426m to build a rail connection between Kicevo and Struga, the Macedonian Vesti website has reported. 

The company, which maintains rail infrastructure, reported two weeks ago in an annual report, revenues of MKD874 with a 26% drop from 2018, while most of the money came from rentals and the state budget, which provided MKD553m. 

The company lost MKD340m in 2019 or about the same amount as a year earlier, while as much as MKD510m in expenditures was listed as amortization. 

A total of MKD438.4m in gross wages was disbursed to 900 employees. 

The company owes EUR32.58m in obligations, stemming from foreign currency loans, of which EUR9.7m has matured.
