Arsovska: A solution should be found with the private carriers, but not to the detriment of Skopje

- I believe that the private bus operators should be discussed and a solution should be found for all the problems, but in no case should this be to the detriment of the City of Skopje, and the City and the people of Skopje suffered serious damage from their actions and behavior, he said. Skopje Mayor Danela Arsovska in an interview for MIA.

She says that the City's offer to hire private carriers through the public calls was in the best interest of everyone, but since no one applied to them, that topic, according to her, is already closed.

- We published public calls to which we called all those who have the intention and who declaratively say that they have worked honestly before and performed their activity honestly and now to approach it and be able to do honestly the work in which they have practically invested themselves or invested in order to they perform it as an activity. However, unfortunately, none of them encouraged themselves, did not appear at that public call, so I consider that this topic is closed, Arsovska pointed out.

Regarding whether a solution will still be sought or the carriers will remain collateral damage in the whole story, Arsovska says that before causing all the chaos in the city, the repercussions for all citizens of Skopje should have been considered.

- Because someone consciously brought them to the state they are in, now we have a consciously created challenge in the City of Skopje, which JSP is trying to deal with and lead to the fact that we have primarily quality service for the citizens of Skopje in the area of ​​public transport, added Arsovska .

She emphasizes that at this moment the City of Skopje is focused on finding a quality system solution and preparing a reform in public transport, which, according to her, must be something that will cover the entire city and all places where it is now either rarely or not at all. buses run. Pointing out that a traffic study has not been done in the City for more than 40 years, Arsovka says that the people of Skopje should be offered a concept that will permanently solve everything that they had as a problem or as a challenge.

In connection with the decision of the city council not to support the proposal to borrow the City of Skopje for the purchase of new ecological buses, Arsovska believes that in this case the responsibility falls on the councilors, who make those "brakes" of a political nature.

- I do not believe that any of those councilors personally think that it is not good for Skopje to get efficient and environmentally friendly public transport, said Arsovska, expressing confidence that at the next session of the City Council, which should be held at the end of this month, the councilors will support that proposal and that by the end of the year it will be able to fulfill the promise given to Skopje to provide ecological buses.

In an interview with MIA, Mayor Arsovska also talks about issues related to her dismissal from the post of president in ZELS, the challenges and problems caused by the lack of support from the Council, as well as the construction chaos in the capital, the latest developments in MKC..
