The Struga people do not trust Merco, require the demolition of all unauthorized facilities

For the residents of Struga, action for the removal of platforms built into the water, on the beaches of Struga, it is more like a political bluff of the mayor, Ramiz Merko.

” 100 percent is bluff. Everything must be destroyed in Struga, Lake shore. Everything is illegal construction and should be demolished. This is just before the election. It's nothing else. ”

"I think it is time for the legal system to work. It is time for the municipality and other state actors to take measures to remove illegally constructed buildings, if there is. ”

VMRO DPMNE says that it is only a matter of simple populism and political marketing before the local elections.

"As far as I know, The construction inspectorate in the municipality of Struga has taken a series of final executive decisions to demolish illegally constructed buildings and they are not implemented and you will have to ask the mayor about this. ”

The day before, Merko not only reiterated that there is no illegal construction in Struga, but also threatened to allow it to be built illegally. Urges the state and the UNESCO Commission to submit a plan for further development.

"I am looking for feedback on how to develop. I have said it many times. If the government does not give us the opportunity to urbanize, to have plans for villages, to have plans for the city, they will certainly build illegally. ”

in Struga, although all beach concessionaires have had their concession agreement expired several years ago, the stock will be reduced to just six platforms to be removed. Facilities on the beaches will continue to work without interruption, unlike the situation in Ohrid, where they have not been working for ten days now, even though the situation there is the same as in Struga.
