During a recent briefing to news media, the Minister of Internal Affairs, Pancho Toskovski, addressed questions regarding trends in domestic violence cases and overall crime rates within the country. Speaking on July 2, 2026, Toskovski provided statistics indicating significant shifts in crime patterns over the past period. According to the Minister, the combined crime rate across the nation reached its lowest point in the last two years, marking a decline not seen in the last two decades.
Furthermore, concerning domestic violence, he noted that the detection rate for these cases has reached the highest level in the last two decades. When directly questioned about whether the incidence rate of domestic violence was decreasing, Toskovski cautioned against making definitive statements based on speculation. He advised that determining whether the combined number of cases is consistently one-sided or if the issue has been eliminated requires careful analysis of the data.
The Minister indicated that assessing the trajectory of these trends—specifically reviewing the data from 2022 and 2023—is necessary before drawing conclusions. His statements emphasize that while the raw figures suggest positive developments in overall crime reduction and increased reporting on domestic incidents, official assessments must rely on comprehensive data review rather than conjecture.
