“Soon we will have LIDL,” Mikowski said after a meeting with market chain management.

“Today I met with part of the management of LIDL, which has been conducting activities for a long time to launch investments in the country. We exchanged information about the numerous difficulties and administrative obstacles they faced from the previous government. Investors who want to invest in economic progress and are willing to employ Macedonian citizens must not be marginalized. We will quickly unfreeze this process and soon we will have the LIDL market chain”, reads the post on Prime Minister Mikoski’s Facebook profile.

LIDL is Europe’s largest food retail chain. Together with Kaufland, it belongs to the SCHWARZ Group, which has its headquarters in Neckarsulm, Germany. The company operates in 31 countries, operates around 12,000 stores and employs more than 360,000 people.
