Macedonian transporters have been advertising the private Invest.com website this past decade for free, after a supposed mix up regarding the campaign “Invest in Macedonia”. While the campaign was popular during the tenure of the country’s previous government, Invest.com is a site of a Cypriot currency trading company, and has no connections whatsoever with InvestInMacedonia.gov.mk.

Since this is about Macedonia I can't help but link this gem from Yugoslavia's golden era. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4xdfEzFbrc&ab_channel=ZZTop...

Wait... is that law still in place? Do they still mandate all their trucks to advertise invest.com?

Making a mistake is one thing... mistakes happen all the time.

But then not fixing it for 10 years - that's something else.

    The law was from 2015 to 2017 or 2018, but then the stickers stayed on. Nobody bothered to remove them :D

It's a crazy story

    it's a sad story, but talks a ton about digital culture and literacy across governments who are having hard time keeping up with tech. The ongoing AI revolution is not going to make it easier
