Casino next to a cemetery in Blace: The plot belongs to Flamingo, authorities are investigating

Construction is underway near the Blace cemetery in Skopje. According to official records, the plot is registered as property of Flamingo Casino. DUI responded publicly with a statement that leaves no room for interpretation: "Cemeteries are not places for casinos. Cemeteries are not gambling zones. Cemeteries are not spaces for commercial profit."

The party demands disclosure of project documentation, suspension of construction pending the investigation, and public accountability for any regulatory approvals granted. DUI also references a withdrawn law on restricting casinos near schools and sensitive zones - asking why cemeteries didn't get similar protection.

For now, Flamingo Casino representatives have made no public statement. Authorities are "looking into" whether a casino is actually being built. The question is simple: if the plot is registered to a casino company and construction is happening - why did it take a party statement to trigger an investigation?
