Shilegov: We have made Skopje a success story, the people of Skopje deserve the best

Together with you, the citizens, we managed to create a completely new, a different Skopje to turn Skopje into a completely different, successful story, and that story does not end here. Skopje today is much better than four years ago. And that is because Skopje deserves the best. And the best is yet to come, said the mayor of the City of Skopje, Petre Shilegov, in front of the gathered citizens at the SDSM tribune under the motto "The best for our municipality".

He added that about four years ago, when we started this story, we were looking for change because we were all equally hurt by what was happening to our city, our homeland.

- People without vision and morality buried us in stone, styrofoam and bronze, we served as a mockery in the world while we were literally suffocated by the tastelessness, crime and polluted air they left us as a testament, and today, after four years of investing a lot of love, funds , will, perseverance in every neighborhood, in every corner of the beautiful city, from our Skopje, the differences are visible, the differences are incomparable, Shilegov emphasized, adding that this is exactly what hurts the opposition the most and leads black propaganda, which falls into the water when they ride on the new boulevard Hristijan Todorovski Karpos, to the ring road, when they ride bicycles on ASNOM boulevard, when they walk on Nikola Karev or plastic or Bosnia and Herzegovina.

- It hurts them that in Skopje four boulevards were built at the same time only after the two earthquakes, one really tragic from 1963 and one that killed the soul of our city - Skopje 2014, said Shilegov.

He stated that last year alone a total of 21 streets were reconstructed and built, all 23 high schools in the city were reconstructed and now have new energy efficient facades and air purifiers in each classroom.

- The bass rapid transit system of fast bus transport popularly called "wheeled tram" is one step away from its implementation. With the signing of the 70 million euro loan agreement, with the support of the Government, we have brought the process of introducing BRT in Skopje to a point of no return. In four years it will start working in both directions, Shilegov pointed out, adding that it is SDSM in Skopje that implements the fastest concept for passenger transport in Europe.

- Today no one talks about pollution anymore. We started a war on air pollution with the introduction of 40 new measures, Shilegov pointed out, stating that instead of improvised expensive purchases of Chinese double-decker diesel buses, Skopje today is richer by 33 new gas eco buses from the renowned European manufacturer MAN.

He added that only with the subsidies for inverter air conditioners in Skopje 6500 heaters have been replaced, 2 new green roofs of GTC and the House of Builders have been built, the third in Mavrovka is being made, and a completely new concept for treatment of communal waste, illegal we turn landfills and illegal parking lots into parks.

The Skopje network of bicycle paths has exceeded the 100th kilometer, and for the fans of extreme sports in Vodno we have built a modern Achilles bicycle path, the sidewalks are free for pedestrians, said Shilegov, adding that the Quay on November 13 is free from the terraces with support in the middle. of the Government begins the reconstruction of the Universal Hall which will soon meet all the standards needed for a cultural institution.

- The crown did not stop us from building a Dino Park in the circle of the Zoo, which is now breaking attendance records as a regional attraction, said Shilegov and announced that in August an agreement will be signed for a new amusement park, the best within a radius of 300-400 km from our city.

- Skopje deserves the best, and Skopje is a city for each of us. We started together, showed and proved that we know and can bravely walk on the right path. We have to move on together. Together for Skopje. Together for us, said the Mayor of the City of Skopje Petre Shilegov at the tribune of SDSM under the motto "The best for our municipality"
