Hungarian operator group 4iG’s chairman met with North Macedonia’s Deputy Prime Minster to explore the possibility of launching its operations in the country.
In a statement, 4iG said it would launch mobile and fixed services in the country as part of its strategy to expand in the Western Balkans.
Aleksandar Nikoloski, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Transport of North Macedonia, said 4iG has an “established track record” and a potential launch of its services “promises substantial benefits” for the citizens and the operator.
4iG chairman Gellért Jászai said: “We are eager to contribute to the North Macedonian telecommunications sector and drive positive change through technology. To outline our ambition to enter the North Macedonian telecommunications market, in the next few weeks we will start working with the government to formalise our commitment and detail this relationship further.”
4iG is Hungary’s second largest operator and expanded into the Western Balkans telecoms market through Montenegro and Albania, launching its One brand in those countries. The Hungarian operator noted its recent announcement of the construction of a high-capacity submarine data cable with Telecom Egypt to link Egypt and Albania, could bring benefits to North Macedonia.
