DUI will be knocking from door to door for Pendarovski
After having made a complete analysis, the assessment of Ali Ahmeti’s party is that they are fully satisfied from their contribution to consensus candidate Stevo Pendarovski in the first election round of the presidential elections. DUI will maximally engage on the ground in the second part of the campaign, namely, it will go from door to door to motivate party structures and citizens to support Pendarovski for president of the state.
– After having made a complete analysis, we are absolutely satisfied with our contribution, which was decisive for the win of consensus presidential candidate Stevo Pendarovski. The second
element is Debar, where we won from the very first round. And the third element is the complete fiasco and failure of the turbo-folkloristic opposition with the historically weakest result of an Albanian candidate in presidential elections, and without an Albanian opposing candidate, stated for Plusinfo, Artan Grubi, organizational secretary of DUI.

Several generations of city and municipal mayors have ignored the problem, and unfortunately, some have even continued to deposit waste at this location. Now, together with the Municipality of Karpos we finally found a solution for this problem and are starting with the realization of another one of our promises. Today we are starting with the cleaning of this landfill, after which the surface will be covered. A park well be set up here on an area of 90.000 square meters (over nine hectares), which we will named City Park 2”, said today Mayor Silegov.
