On October 9, 2025, police officers from the Mihajlovo Border Control Station detained B.M. (25) and V.Č. (27), both from Negotino. On October 8, 2025, around 6:20 PM on the Demir Kapija-Negotino highway, at a location known as "Ostrovo," police officers conducted a check on a passenger vehicle, a Škoda, with Skopje license plates, where they discovered seven migrant individuals (six from Egypt, including five minors, and one from Iraq). After taking measures, it was established that V.Č. was in a passenger vehicle, an Opel Astra, with Negotino license plates, acting as a scout and informing B.M. about the positioning of police patrols on the road.
A public prosecutor has been notified, and the individuals are being held at the police station. After the case is fully documented, an appropriate report will be filed against them.
