Skopje 2014 – Using Cool Apps to Expose Corrupt Government

BIRN Macedonia has developed an interactive app for Android devices called “Skopje 2014 Uncovered” that allows users to know the cost of buildings and monuments that form part of the government sponsored revamp of the capital.

BIRN’s new app lists all the edifices that are included in the BIRN’s official database of buildings, new facades, sculptures, monuments, fountains and other structures which are components of Skopje’s publicly funded makeover.

Through photographing a specific structure, users can now get its exact cost. By photographing with a wider span, users can find out the cost of each structure in the picture or get the total sum.

This app will be presented by Riste Zmejkoski from BIRN Macedonia on 27th of May at 17:30h. This conversation will be moderated by Ivana Jordanovska.
