A review was made of what has been done in the last ten years, with the conclusion that there are only small changes. The institutions of the system need to include the needs of persons with disabilities in their priority objectives, at least on a case-by-case basis. Several national media followed this event, and you can read in more detail in the announcement of Mobility Macedonia.
