AEK has accepted Cosmofon’s explanation that the necessary equipment was not delivered on time as suppliers have request an additional eight weeks. Cosmofon, owned by Telekom Slovenije, has committed to make the service commercially available as of November 15, AEK said.

- Macedonia’s Youth Entrepreneur Service unveiled on Thursday a new portal, www.pretpriemac.mk, aimed at people that want to start their own business.
