Some good news for Macedonia and Serbia. Delta Holding is joining the supermarket & shopping mall race in Skopje. In 2006 Delat Holding plans to invest 50 million EUR alone in Skopje. 6 supermarkets, discount center and a shopping mall are among the planned investments. 700-1.000 new jobs will be created. The biggest problem that Delta is encountering is the unsetteled land ownership issues, as some of the parcels about which it is interested are still a subject to denationalization. But their relations with the authorities is good.

What is it with all these shopping centers poping up in Skopje like mushrooms?
Doesnt the government understand, that macedonia needs investment in INDUSTRY, no retail. Whois going to shop in so many shopping malls?? People in macedonia cannot afford to spend money on goods.... i heard that even Ramstore Mall in Skopje, while its always full, hardly anyone buys anything. |

Another thing with the shopping centers in Skopje is that SK is one of the largest cities in the region, and it is important for all of them to build up their position here while there is still space on the market and before the big competitors come like Carrefour for example... neverthless, I think that we shouldn't complain... in a country where the official uneployement is almost 40% every investment is good. 1000 people will get jobs... P.S. That's journalistic bullshit about Ramstore. Typical bitching in the MK media.... The place is always packed with shoppers...

GreatMakedon, its not only Macedonia that is seeing this...here where i live, Toronto, ONtario, Canada, it was recently revelealed in the media that we have lost 40 to 50.000 manufacturing jobs in the last few months. Industry is simply shutting down over here...whole operations are being moved to India, China, etc.
Most of the people work in the service(retail, etc) sector now...but without manufacturing jobs, who will these people "service"? ![]() Quote:

KM, but thats the case in Western Europe and North America coz they are moving to places where labour is cheap. In macedonia labour is cheap... but nobody is opening industry there yet... and the MK government is at fault by large coz they are very slow at improving the investment climate in Macedonia.
Quote Djurob: neverthless, I think that we shouldn't complain... in a country where the official uneployement is almost 40% every investment is good. 1000 people will get jobs... ------------------------------------------------------------------- Ok officially unemployment is 36%, but we both know that if it was really that high, people would be starving to death. Even the government edmits that the real unemployment is about 20-25%... its their fault they are not clever enough to expose the 150thousand people who receive social security but also earn wages from a permanent or casual job. |

New U.S. embassy building in Macedonia
SKOPJE, Macedonia: Construction has begun on a new $50 million U.S. embassy building in Skopje, the capital of the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. The building is to be completed by May 2008. U.S. Ambassador Gillian Milovanovic and Macedonian President Branko Crvenkovski attended a cornerstone placing ceremony Wednesday, the MIA news agency said. Retired Gen. Charles William, chief operating officer at the State Department, and Steven Ziegenfus, project manager, symbolically laid the embassy cornerstone. "The U.S. Embassy will represent a strong and visible symbol of partnership, friendship and democratic values between the U.S. and Macedonia. The U.S. Embassy is a huge investment and an expression of the confidence in the country's future as an independent, stable and multiethnic state," Milovanovic said. She said the embassy would give Skopje's Gradiste suburb new energy and activity, because it opened the possibility for private entrepreneurship, construction of shops, restaurants and other business responding to the needs of embassy employees and visitors. In October, the FYR Macedonia opened a new embassy building in Washington |

![]() the construction site of the embassy is huge, something like 3 football fields... I'll try to get a rendering on its future look. It will incorporate a big park with an artificial lake from what I know... And it will definately have a great impact on the surrounding area... there is a small roma slum nearby it... I've heard that there are aleready potential investors to dislocate the roma people and build something decent there....

Posted a while ago but here we go again....different article
Broadband network is envy of the west By Geoff Nairn Published: March 28 2006 16:30 | Last updated: March 28 2006 16:30 Macedonia usually only hits the headlines when ethnic tensions erupt. But this small land-locked nation now wants to project a more positive image as the world’s first “wireless country”. ADVERTISEMENT In four years, Macedonia has vaulted from being known as one of the poorest countries in Europe to being one of the most technologically advanced. Thanks to aid from foreign governments and commercial sponsors, Macedonia now has a computer laboratory in each of its 430 schools and a nationwide broadband network that many richer western countries will envy. Rural schools which previously did not even have a telephone are today linked to the outside world via broadband wireless. Macedonia claims to be the first country of its size to have a broadband wireless network covering 95 per cent of its population. The network, based on Motorola technology, uses WiFi hot-spots to bring high-speed internet access to schools and villages, while mesh technology is used to blanket urban areas. The impetus for this project came from Boris Trajkovski, Macedonia’s former president, who died in 2003. He was a strong believer in the need for Macedonian children to learn modern IT skills. In 2002, during an official visit to China, he secured a grant to equip the country’s schools with Chinese-made computers. Microsoft later donated more than 6,000 licences for software. That in itself was a big leap forward. But Mr Trajkovski realised that without internet access, the children would remain at a disadvantage. He approached the US Agency for International Development (USAid) which has been funding projects in Macedonia for a decade. USAid engaged the Academy for Economic Development (AED), a US non-profit organisation, to bring internet access to Macedonia’s schools. But the project faced a big barrier, namely the prohibitive cost of internet access in Macedonia – more than €150 a month for a slow dial-up connection. According to Glenn Strachan, who directed the Macedonia Connects project for AED, the blame lay with Macedonia’s incumbent telecoms company, Maktel, which had the monopoly on the wired infrastructure and charged high prices. Maktel’s monopoly ended on December 31 2004 and AED quickly invited bids to provide a cheaper high-speed internet service not just for schools – which are subsidised by AED – but for non-school paying customers as well. “We realised we needed a sustainable model that would help the ISPs get more commercial clients,” says Mr Strachan. A local ISP, On.Net, won the contract with a proposal to bypass Maktel’s infrastructure and blanket the country using wireless broadband. In August 2005, On.Net completed the wireless backbone and a month later it had connected all the schools. The project has not been problem-free. China’s donation only covered hardware so the PCs were originally installed with open source software. A year later, Microsoft’s donation arrived and the teachers had to spend time installing and learning to use Microsoft software. More worryingly, the installation of hardware in a dozen schools was delayed due to the activities of the Kosovo Liberation Army. War in the Serbian province of Kosovo officially ended in 1999, but ex-KLA insurgents still operate sporadically in northwestern Macedonia. Mr Strachan knows that modern technology alone is not going to heal the deep wounds in Macedonia and other war-torn Balkan states. But he believes that bringing internet access to the nation’s schools will improve education and, longer term, help modernise the economy. Today, 300,000 children and students benefit from free internet access and USAid recently agreed to expand the project to bring 50 municipalities online in remote rural areas. |

Can anybody tell me or post any information on the whereabouts of an 'Official' type of web page for the development of Ski Resort Kozuf? I have read breif synopsis of the development but I have not personally come across an official web site with a Site Plan, or chalet plans, even for purchasing? It would be nice to see some scenic photos also. Anyhow I think that is a a REALLY big deal for Macedonia and I hope it puts us on the map to a larger degree for winter tourism.

More hotels/casinos to be constructed by Gevgelija near the Macedonian-Greek border. One of them is going to be an investment by the Turkish Koc Holding and the other one by the Slovenian company Hit Gorica which already invested in a casino in the town of Dojran (a tourist resort by a nice lake again near the Greek border).

More investments from the Slovenian company Hit Gorica. They will construct a complex of hotels in Dojran. They've already opened up a casino there. The company is also negotiating to invest in residential projects in Skopje.
