Macedonian municipality of Kisela Voda in Adriatic-Ionian Forum

(ANSA) - ANCONA, 26 MAG - The Forum of Adriatic-Ionian Cities (Faic) welcomes Kisela Voda, the first municipality in North Macedonia to join Faic. Kisela Voda is located in the heart of North Macedonia, a short distance from the capital Skopje, reports a fact sheet in the Faic newsletter. It occupies fractions of the Skopje Valley on the right side of the Vardar River and is part of the Skopje region. It is a multiethnic community with a 57% combination of urban and 43% rural parts.
    In the past two years, the municipal administration and Mayor Orce Gjorgjievski have carried out a number of public works: paving of roads, new sewage and water networks, energy-efficient schools and kindergartens, with great emphasis on culture, education, youth, and people with special needs from all ethnic groups. International cooperation at the micro- and macro-regional level is particularly important to the municipality, the fact sheet says.
    Commitment to peace, freedom, democracy, socioeconomic prosperity, equitable and balanced development are "considered basic principles." The municipality "intends to contribute to the macro-regional development of the Adriatic-Ionian region, respecting and following the historic commitment of the Forum to create an equal path for all citizens and communities in the area," the fact sheet concludes.
