Nikolloski: With sustainable transport and green transition, Macedonia is leading the region

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Transport, Aleksandar Nikolloski, stated that Macedonia is transforming into a regional leader thanks to the combination of sustainable transport and green transition. He made these comments during a ceremony marking the start of the wind park project of the Alkazar company in Shtip.

According to him, this investment represents clear evidence of the vision for energy security and shows that the executive works closely with investors with full commitment.

Nikolloski drew attention to a series of important events that illustrate the country’s modernization. “Yesterday we marked the 35th anniversary of Macedonia’s independence. In the early hours of the day, we inaugurated the renovated Ohrid Airport, and in the evening we enjoyed the rhythms of electronic music with David Guetta. Today we are here for a wind park. This, in my opinion, is the strongest proof that our country has a modern future, adapted to the 21st century,” he said.

He emphasized that precisely this connection between ecological mobility and the transition to clean energy places Macedonia in a leading position in the region.

The Deputy Prime Minister assured that support for the initiative will continue and thanked all actors involved in the recent period, under the leadership of Prime Minister Mickoski. He mentioned the engagement of Energy Minister Sanja Bozhinovska, as well as the contribution of the mayors of Shtip, Karbinci, and Radovish. He also appreciated the work of the teams from the Ministry of Transport, Cadastre, Ministry of Agriculture and that of the Environment Ministry. “The fact that we stand here today and that in three years we will put this wind park into operation is the best confirmation of our commitment,” he concluded.
