CORNERSTONE OF NEW SARAJ
POLICE STATION LAID
Interior and Health Ministers, Gordana Jankulovska and Imer Selmani
respectively, British Ambassador to Macedonia Robert Chatterton Dickson and
Saraj municipality mayor Bekim Fazliu laid Wednesday the cornerstone of the
new Saraj-based police station.
- The laying of the cornerstone in fact demonstrates Government's
determination to persist on the difficult road towards Interior Ministry
reforms together with our partners from the international community,
Interior Minister Jankuloska emphasised.
- The start of the construction of this police station for us is not only a
project in the domain of preserving the public order and security, but it is
also a project whose profound importance encompasses the ongoing improvement
of the inter-ethnic relations, thus meeting Government's responsibility to
provide legal protection for all citizens of the Republic of Macedonia, said
Minister Jankuloska.
She said the objective was clear - to promote Macedonia before the united
Europe and the world as a country that observes the democratic, normative
and security Euro-Atlantic standards.
Health Minister Selmani said the laying of the police station's cornerstone
was practical implementation of the law on police, under which the local
self-government, together with MoI, would work on enhancing the citizens'
security.
Given the occasion, Ambassador Dickson extended hope that the police station
would contribute to building mutual confidence between the police and the
citizens.
- An important headway has been made in terms of police modernisation,
especially with the new police law, adopted in 2006, said Ambassador
Dickson.
According to municipality mayor Fazliu, the Saraj police station would be a
genuine service to the citizens, guaranteeing the future development of the
municipality.

At the meeting as MIA's correspondent from Shanghai reported, mutual
satisfaction from high level of bilateral relations between the two
countries was expressed and possibilities for boosting economic cooperation

community. Economic relations should be firm as the political ones,

in development of the Macedonian economy.
FM Milososki said that Macedonia intensively carries out the reforms in
judiciary which will enable foreign investors to feel safe.
He announced that Deputy PM Zoran Stavreski and Director of the Agency for
Foreign Investments Viktor Mizo are to visit China on September to better
promote the Macedonian economy.
During the talks with officials of CCPIT and ZTE the need of establishment
of cooperation between the economic chambers of China and Macedonia was
emphasised. Companies from Shanghai participate with one third in the total
trade exchange between the two countries.
At the meeting talks were also focused on fair event Shanghai EXPO which is
to be held in 2010 where Macedonia will also participate. Participants from
160 countries are registered to participate at the fair and approximately 70
to 100 million people will visit the fair.
CCPIT - Shanghai has 2.300 members, companies included in all economic
sectors.
Milososki late Tuesday met with Deputy Mayor of Shanghai Tang Dengjie. They
agree that the cooperation especially on economic plan should be
intensified.
- Shanghai is the largest economic centre in China. Annually it realises one
quarter of the total trade exchange in the country, it is represented with
investments in 120 countries worldwide and last year it reached 100 billion
Euro GDP and realised scope of exchange of 540 million tones, Dengjie said.
Dengjie said that there are 62 consular offices and main offices of 100
international organisations and foreign media in Shanghai.
Milososki presented Macedonia's possibilities for attraction of foreign
investments and pointed out that the Government intensively works in
foreseen economic reforms.
Deputy Mayor said he will inform businessmen from other Chinese provinces on
favourable conditions for investment in Macedonia.
- Chinese businessmen show interest to invest in Macedonia, Dengjie said
pointing out Haier Group company as an example which won the bid for the
project "Computer for every student."
