Ladies and Gentlemen,

Today on the occasion of the great holiday Ilinden the Mayor of Municipality Shtip, Blagoj Bochvarski congratulated all the citizens of the Municipality of Shtip, saying:

„Dear citizens

Ilinden is the crown of the Macedonian identity, the key to the future and sovereignty of our country. The foundations of Macedonia are laid on Ilinden. In the past decades we have built the state and today it is our obligation to develop and preserve it within the large and influential families, thus ensuring its stability and security forever. Let today’s big holiday of Ilinden be an incentive to move forward, along the road that has been traced since the uprising of Ilinden and the ASNOM conference. Let’s all together succeed in today’s struggle for Macedonia and make it stable, prosperous and strong country. May Ilinden be eternal,” said Mayor Bochvarski.
