The Public Prosecution Office in Shtip has launched an investigation concerning a 38-year-old associate professor at the University of Gocelchev in Shtip. The professor is suspected of accepting a bribe from a student from Turkey. According to a statement released on July 1, 2026, the prosecution has proposed several precautionary measures to the court, including a prohibition on the professor performing work activities at the faculty.
The investigation stems from allegations that the professor, a resident of Kočani, sought financial compensation directly for carrying out an action that she was professionally prohibited from performing. The details provided in the official notice suggest that the incident occurred on June 16, after a student reportedly demonstrated insufficient knowledge during an assessment. The prosecutor’s office has taken action following these allegations, initiating proceedings against the academic staff member.
The measures sought by the prosecution are intended to safeguard the integrity of the educational institution. The prosecution has specifically warned the court regarding the necessity of restricting the professor’s professional duties. The proposed restrictions aim to prevent any further potential misconduct and ensure adherence to professional standards within the university environment.
