Let me start with the highways, altough this has already been posted in the Eastern European Highways thread...
MACEDONIAN HIGHWAYS Two major european corridors pass through Macedonia and intersect in Skopje. The east-west Corridor 10 Varna(BG)-Sofia(BG)-Skopje(MK)-Tirana(AL)-Durres(AL)-Bari(I) and the north-south Corridor 8 Vienna(A)-Ljubljana(SLO)-Zagreb(HR)-Belgrade(SCG)-Skopje(MK)-Thessaloniki(GR)-Athens(GR). On the map you have the sections of these corridors passing through Macedonia together with the subsection of Corridor 10 (Prilep-Bitola-Igoumenitsa(GR) and the branch leading to Kosovo. Here is a legend for the map RED - CONSTRUCTED HIGHWAYS GREEN - UNDER CONSTRUCTION YELLOW - PLANNED HIGHWAYS The map also shows the network of regular roads throughout Macedonia, which are mostely in good condition. Of course there are existing regular roads on the planned routes for highways as well. ![]() The ring road around Skopje is currently under construction and will be finished until 2008. The basic groung preparations on the section of the Corridor 10 missing in the southern part are currently under preparation. It is the harders part of the route, passing through a canyon and there will be loads of bridges and tunnels. Here are some pictures even though some are old. A PLANNED JUNCTION ON THE SKOPJE RING ROAD ![]() CORRIDOR 10 - SECTION TETOVO-GOSTIVAR ![]() CORRIDOR 10 - SECTION KUMANOVO-SERBIAN BORDER ![]() CORRIDOR 10 - SECTION SKOPJE-KUMANOVO ![]() ![]() ![]() CORRIDOR 10 - SECTION GEVGELIJA-NEGOTINO ![]() ![]() CORRIDOR 10 - SECTION GRADSKO-NEGOTINO ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() CORRIDOR 8 - SECTION SKOPJE-TETOVO ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

The Slovenian group Hidria which deals with production of automotive parts wants to invest in Macedonia. The investment should go through its "daughter" company Rotomatika. The Slovenes are interested to invest either in a green field investment or by buying and modernizing an existing factory.

Btw, I hope this photo is more than 15 years old, since there's 'T. Veles' on that green board.
(I just hope someone doesn't show up now and say: 'Oh, screw Tito and Verso!' )

djurob are you aware that the corridor 10 highway between Negotino-Gevgelija is going to slice through the middle of a recently discovered ancient city termed "vardarski-rid" forgot its ancient name. Anyways they have/are destroying 1/3 of this ancient town and its artifacts just because they didnt want to shift the route of the highway ten meters!!
This is what they also did to the roman city of Stobi when they built the athens-ljubljana highway right through the middle of it, ruining much of its 2000year old artifacts. What is it with the macedonian government, roads are more important than preserving ancient sites! |

GreatMakedon as far as I know this is another one of those stories that follow every single project in Macedonia. The Lumiks building, the ring road of Skopje, the American embassy......... even the last freakin McDonalds constructed in Skopje. A small group of people making a lot of noise over a non existing problem and postponing every single project for no reason... Anyways, as for Vardarski Rid it is true that there is a ancient settelment there. But it is also true that with joint funding by Mobimak, the road agency, the monument preservation agency and few others, the ruins have been conservated and the section of the highway that passes there and that has already been finished for some 3-4 years now, does not do any harm to them.

Here is a small pic of the ancient site "vardarski rid" near Gevgelija (1st millenium b.c).. you can see that a whole chunk of the mountain which consisted of artifacts 3thousand years old, are destroyed with the construction of corridor 10.

I'm surprised, I expected to see something similar like here...I mean, I knew you had some highways built in times of Yugoslavia, but you're actually building new highways, congratulations ;)
And Stevan, yeah, I way surprised s few years ago (when I was driving on Zagreb - Belgrade highway) to see that these yellow lines are actually orange in Vojvodina. And later near Belgrade they even became white! Now, is there any rule about that, can SiCG do that? On our fast road they're yellow, and in Croatia/Austria/France/Germany/Italy those lines are also yellow. Are you Belgraders trying to be different or what :) |

The next priority is finishing the east-west corridor and the last on the list is the subsection through Prilep-Bitola-Greek border. But all these routes have great roads now as well, with extra lane on uphills for slow vechiles etc.... I'll try to find some pictures of the regular roads as well....

Mitsubishi will decide by March if it will construct a new factory in Macedonia. Company representatives visited Macedonia and were satisfied from what they've seen. The main objections were on the high transport costs and some of the taxes. Macedonia is competing with Denmark, Bulagria, Romania and Turkey for the new factoruy. To factory should be constructed in the town of Prilep in a new free trade zone which needs to be set up. Mitsubishi is already cooperating with the Prilep factory of Metalec and they are about to sign an agreement for joint production of steel columns for electricity transport and electricity production aggregates.

Another winter tourist center to be upgraded. Several companies including a Swedish one are interested to invest in the Ponikva winter center in eastern MAcedonia by the town of Kocani. The text doesn't give too many details except that free construction parcels will be auctioned to potential investors on 30-31 January.

The Prilep based factory Proluks will start to assemble the first Macedonian dishwashers. The new section of the factory will assemble dishwashers and different types of small ovens and stoves.
Proluks is a joint venture by the Veles company Leov and a greek partner. SOURCE: Total Quote:
