Skopje commuter train service to start 1st September

Skopje is going to get a commuter rail service! Zelenikovo - Skopje! This year! The tracks are being repaired. That bit - from Minister of Transport Aleksandar Nikoloski - might be true. The problem is that to run a train service you, well, need trains. And the state of the rolling stock maintenance in North Macedonia has been dreadful for years. They have not even been able to keep the Chinese built EMUs and DMUs running, meaning that some lines like Skopje - Tabanovce have no trains at all simply due to a lack of rolling stock. So I do not believe these commuter trains will start this year. Or not reliably anyway!
