On Thursday, VMRO-DPMNE’s Skopje mayoral candidate, Orce Gjorgjievski, presented his plans for the first stage of the construction of a new boulevard that will be called “Hrvatska” (“Croatia”). As he noted, it will be built in the eastern part of the capital and benefit thousands of citizens.
Among his other projects are extension of ASNOM, Boris Trajkovski, and Aleksandar Makedonski Boulevards, unblocking the Momin Potok junction, three new roundabouts on Dame Gruev Street and an underground boulevard below the Limak Hotel in the centre of the capital.
“With these projects, we build a more organised, safer, and better-connected Skopje, a modern and dignified capital, like all its citizens deserve. The best is yet to come”, he underlined.
ZNAM Centar mayoral candidate Miroslav Labudovic, presented a FENIKS (PHOENIX) Square project.
“PHOENIX is the symbol of renewal, new energy, and togetherness. A place where people will meet, where they will create memories, and where the spirit of Centar will grow. With this project, we build a future that inspires, connects, and unites”, he stated.
SDSM’s mayoral candidate in the same Municipality, Goran Gerasimovski, who’s running for another term presented the part of his programme concerning training, education, and volunteering by young people that are unemployed or without proper education qualifications and professional training.
“We will help these young people acquire new knowledge and skills, and increase their competitiveness on the labour market”, he stressed.
The opposition party’s mayoral candidate for Skopje, Kaja Sukova, presented what she said was her vision for the capital’s urban development, saying it was founded on sustainability, humanity, and evenness.
Levica’s mayoral candidate for the capital, Amar Mecinovic, stated that though part of his party’s projects, including the biggest one, for a railway axis connecting the eastern and western part of the capital, couldn’t be implemented in just one term, the point was for sound foundations of work and an innovative approach to be introduced that would be used during future terms as well.
In Cair, the VLEN mayoral candidate, Izet Mexhiti, stated that his team’s priority was to create diversity with regards to the budget structure and securing new sources of funding in order to increase capital investments and long-term development projects.
The DUI-led coalition’s mayoral candidate in the same Municipality, Bujar Osmani, presented two big projects to build new modern kindergartens.
“Cair has a lack of kindergartens. It has insufficient capacities and has conditions that don’t match even the basic needs of children in the most critical period of their development”, he noted.
