On March 12, 2025, a Memorandum of Cooperation between the National Security Agency and the Employment Agency was signed at the headquarters of the National Security Agency. The Memorandum was signed by the Director of the National Security Agency, Bojan Hristovski, and the Acting Director of the Employment Agency, Seljatin Beljuli.
