In Skopje, halal food is found first in the old bazaar (Čaršija), on the left bank of the Vardar, where the population is largely Muslim and meat is halal by habit rather than by certification. As across the region, the absence of a logo is not a bad sign: it is the local norm, and the question is simply asked out loud. On the right bank the city is more mixed and care becomes useful again.
Here are addresses recorded in Skopje. Halal status is shown as verified or reported depending on the source — never announced as certified.
