During the meetings with representatives of Macedonian Armed Forces, one of the main topics was Rosomak Wheeled Armoured Vehicle.

The Rosomak is 8x8 multi-role armoured vehicle produced by the Polish Company WZM under a license of the Finnish Company Patria. The vehicle is a variant of the AMV combat vehicle produced by Patria.

In December 2002, the Polish Ministry of Defense signed a contract to buy 690 Patria AMV vehicles, to be manufactured in Poland. Poland is the sole user ofRosomak armoured vehicle but as the first export customer of Patria AMV WZM S.A has a right to sell KTO Rosomak on export in some markets. In 2006 KTO Rosomak was tested in Malaysia.

The offer of Bumar Group, along with Rosomak Wheeled Armoured Vehicle, which is produced in Wojskowe Zaklady Mechaniczne S.A. in cooperation with Bumar Group, met with great interest of the representatives of the Armed Forces of Macedonia.
