Zoran Iprakovski, a native of Skopje who has been living in Canada for more than thirty years, after five years, the uphill road brought him to Skopje, together with his wife to visit the city and celebrate with his closest family.

In 1988, he suddenly left for Canada to earn money to buy an apartment in Skopje. But stories don't always end the way we plan them... His beginnings were not easy, and he, as a young technical chemist, employed at "Alkaloid Skopje" was "forced" to manage for a better future.

- I left here because I didn't have an apartment. I left to earn an apartment and I stayed... and I live there. And that's it, there's no going back - Iprakovski touchingly tells "Sloboden Pechat"

Iprakovski is the father of four adult children who were born there, the older children speak the Macedonian language, but have not visited Macedonia for almost 30 years. He is a proud Macedonian, who did not hold back his emotions and excitement in front of the cameras.

-Five years ago I was lost, when I came back after five years, I was lost again. I am excited when I come here... - says Iprakovski.
