The institutions for persecution are not interested in resolving the bribery affair with Telekom, said Slagjana Taseva, the President of “Transparency International – Macedonia” on the round table that was held in Skopje.  Few weeks ago, this nongovernmental organization has offered analyses of the affair and discovered that the Greek multimillionaire Dimitris Kontominas was involved in the bribery of the Macedonian politicians from the coalition between SDSM and DUI. 
 – We expected that what we offered would be developed and used for deeper research about what happened from 2000 onwards, from the privatization of one monopoly, which after its transformation continued to be a monopoly. That means that someone was having a concern for everything but not for the interests of the citizens. The institutions are not having pressure by anyone so they can seek the culprits of the affair and the question is will we agree that it should stay like this? – said Taseva and emphasized the situation is interesting because after the published findings, neither one political party declared to discredit them, as it is usually the case. 

The Greek billionaire Dimitris Kontominas, which “Transparency International – Macedonia” claims to be involved in major corruption scandal of “Deutsche Telekom”, one year ago has re-directed his business arrows towards our country. First his involvement was with the project “Skopje 2014” by buying land on the square Macedonia baroque for building a baroque hotel and “officer’s home”, a project for which the firm Kontominas “DEMKO” was the only bidder and got an area of 6308 square meters for about 630,000 euros.Kontominas then tried, unsuccessfully, to involve in the energy business by participating in tenders for the construction of hydroelectric plants in Macedonia.
