In the 2016 Accountability Report of VMRO-DPMNE for 2016, it was announced that the Italian company Naturalia had bought two parcels of land in the zone of Zhabeni, Bitola, with the objective of producing processed agricultural products.
The planned value of the investment, according to the Report, is 3 million euros and 100 employees over 5 years.
This investment was announced by the media in February 2016, but by the end of this year, nothing has been built on the particular piece of land.
