Skopje in 2020 This Annual Report on Operation Refers To MAKEDONSKI TELEKOM AD – SKOPJE Address: Kej 13 Noemvri 6, 1000 Skopje, R. North Macedonia ANNUAL REPORT on the operations of Makedonski Telekom AD - Skopje in 2020 This Annual Report on Operation refers to Makedonski Telekom AD - Skopje (hereinafter referred to as: “MKT”). In 2020, the coronavirus spread globally, and its negative impact gained momentum. Despite the Corona crisis MKT continues to shows positive trend on the revenues side and its main KPI. The total revenues in 2020 compared to the 2019 revenue increase due to higher revenues in the ICT segment and in the fixed segment, coming from the continuing expansion of the customer base. The fixed revenues are higher, driven by the higher IPTV and Broadband revenue, partially offset by the lower fixed voice revenues. In the mobile segment, the positive trend in the postpaid revenues, mobile devices and accessories is netted by the Corona pandemic impact, especially on the prepaid ARPU and Roaming revenues. To sustain the positive performance recorded in 2020, MKT intends to further leverage the integrated Magenta offer, the high network quality and the market position as a premium provider. At the end of 2020, MKT had 221 thousand voice access fixed lines making a 2.4% increase from the end of 2019. The number of total Broadband (BB) subscribers has increased to 191 thousand at the end of 2020, marking a 6.3 % increase from the end of 2019. The number of IPTV customers at the end of 2020 reached 142 thousand customers, marking a 4.5% increase from the end of 2019. The number of Fibre to the Home (FTTH) customers reached 78 thousand at the end of 2020, marking a 19% increase from the end of 2019. MKT had 1,105 thousand mobile subscribers at the end of 2020, compared to 1,220 thousand at the end of 2019. The mobile market penetration in Republic of North Macedonia is 102. As a result of the market saturation, MKT especially focuses on retaining the customers in order to protect the market share. MKT registered customer growth in all three focus segments – postpaid, BB internet and TV customers, keeping the largest TV operator position in North Macedonia (in terms of TV customer base), achieved as of Q2 2019. MAGENTA 1 continued to be MKT’s main product, offering both in the Consumer and in the Business segment. The simplification of the product propositions and the digital customer experience were the main guiding directions in 2020. MKT showed to the society that companies using digital services are less vulnerable to the Corona crisis and managed to successfully implement the communication strategy of bringing digital optimism in people’s daily lives during the doom and gloom of the pandemic. The customer support is shifting towards digital channels, especially via the Telekom app and “My Telekom” on the corporate web site. Strategic focuses for MKT are transformation and digitalization with having Agile setup in its projects. Also, MKT continues to meet the increased demand for connectivity through its network and in order to keep sustainable business and major revenue streams in a very complex telecommunications environment, MKT has continued to massively expand in the fixed network and mobile communications in 2020.

    SMART INTERACTIVE TALK (SIT) PEMPAL IACOP Plenary Meeting INTERNAL AUDIT IN THE POST PANDEMIC RECOVERY with focus on Advisory Services, Agile Auditing, and Audit Committees May 27 and June 2, 2021, 13:00-16:00 (CET, Vienna time) CONTEXT This plenary meeting, in the format of a SIT, takes place more than a year since the IACOP’s last plenary. The COVID-19 pandemic has profoundly challenged all of us and impacted our lives during that time. Nevertheless, with the great effort and flexibility demonstrated by IACOP leadership and its members, IACOP is holding up well in these extraordinary circumstances. It has been able to provide timely and stakeholder-oriented support through the organization of virtual events, joined IACOP- country events, and developed additional knowledge products. We all recognize that strong public services are essential both during the pandemic and in its aftermath. The entire public sector must seek to work effectively and efficiently, despite the pressures and challenges. Public authorities now more than ever must strive to meet their objectives. This requires more modern and efficient tools to be provided to management, to address their increased expectations regarding both internal control and internal audit. Facing many burning challenges, managers seek more advisory internal audit services. Central harmonization units and managers need more assurance on whether internal control operates properly. While maintaining a focus on public internal financial control implementation, the audit committee topic returns to PEMPAL countries’ reform agenda and as well to the IACOP agenda. To better fits clients’ expectations, agile auditing creates opportunities to transform audit processes, to better address the audit environment, and ultimately to create more value for the stakeholders of internal audit services.

    ISPI EMEA – The Performance Systems Network, Inc. 2019 Skopje Conference Feedback By Carol M. Panza Skopje was the site of another uniquely valuable ISPI EMEA event! But, don’t take my word for it! See what participants had to say. Introduction ISPI EMEA conferences are organized with a unique, highly interactive format and are maintained small in size to ensure maximum value to participants. Our 2019 conference in Skopje, N. Macedonia was a great example! We know this because we asked our participants for their thoughts on the value of the 18th ISPI EMEA conference!!! The following report contains a summary of what we heard from participants throughout the conference via verbal comments, during our traditional focus-group style Feedback Session at the end of the event, and by way of email messages we received after the conference. We have also shared a few candid photos, taken over the course of the three days from September 26 – 28, in Skopje. 2 Note that ISPI EMEA has a tradition of taking photos throughout our conferences and making video recordings of conference highlights, with a focus on the comments and reactions of conference participants. So, if you would like a little taste of what it was like to be with us in Skopje, take a moment to watch the 2019 video, which will be posted on the ISPI EMEA website as soon as it’s complete. This year’s conference was organized by the 2019 ISPI EMEA Board and Conference Committee, in cooperation with six (6) local partner organizations, very ably coordinated by ISPI EMEA Board Member, Tanja Georgievska, and supported by Patron Sponsor MMHA, the Managers’ Mentors, Inc.
