Macedonian meat processing companies and slaughterhouses can export beef to the European Union (EU) members and third countries since March 7, Macedonian Food and Veterinary Agency Director Zoran Popovski announced in a press statement Wednesday.

According to Popovski, the decision meant a chance for fresh domestic and foreign investments in the sector.
