Struga Council will discuss street names

Committee will be formed to change the names of streets!

In the next session of the Council of Struga, which will be held on 6 February 2019, will be discussed in total 17 point in the Order of the Day. One of the points that will arouse interest is the one where the Commission for the naming of local roads will be formed in the territory of the Municipality of Struga.. No more detailed explanation is given as to whether the work of this commission or working group will be to change the existing street names or just to name a new street..
The problem with the names of the streets in Struga is very pronounced and at the moment no street has the name of any Albanian historical figure or event.. During the first terms of the current mayor, Ramiz Merko, efforts were made to change the name of the town square and continue on the road “Marks Engels”, but even though they are used orally as Square ” Mother Teresa” and “Monastery Congress”, officially they are not.
officially, Sheshi ” Mother Teresa” still called “Revolution Square” ( Revolution Square), while the path that is said to be called “Monastery Congress”, nowhere does it appear as such, but as a continuation of the road ” Marks Engels”, information VOX Struga.
To change the city's streets, the decision needs to be voted on by Badenter and approved by the central government.. Ramiz Merko as a member of the leadership of the ruling Albanian party, perhaps he has resolved this issue and agreed with his Macedonian partner to resolve this issue.

In Struga even today, city ​​streets have names like “JNA”, ” Marshall Tito”, “Marks Engels”, part of the history of the last century and the Yugoslav monist system, which for Albanians has been infamous and ghastly. /VOX Struga /
