The councilors of SDSM and the coalition in the Skopje City Council will not vote for the decision to borrow from a domestic bank with a long-term loan of 620 million denars to purchase ecological buses, proposed by the mayor Danela Arsovska.

The coordinator of the advisory group, Ljubica Jancheva, emphasized that the decision is incomplete and it does not solve the problem of public transport, in conditions where there is currently no concept of public transport, and even the timetable voted by the Council is not respected.

- In order to support the decision, we need information on whether this will solve the problem with public transport, maybe partly with pollution, but not with the quality of public transport, because the concept will remain the same. We have a project in the drawer that solves the problem, it is the BRT project, for which we pay penalties, for which we had credit borrowing with a guarantee from the Government and which can completely solve the problem. This is how we buy new buses and next year maybe we will buy, maybe some socially responsible company will donate the buses. I did not hear during the pre-election campaign or for this year's mandate that we will buy the promised 250 buses, on the contrary we hear - we will get them. And after all, if they have to be bought, who will be the manufacturer? - said Jancheva at today's session.
