Transform Visions Into Reality
We are very happy and proud to welcome KOSTAL for the second year in a row as an official partner of GENERALKA WEEKEND – the biggest environmental event of the Western Balkans, organised and realised by 80 municipalities, more than 600 organisations and institutions, and supported by the most important companies in our country!
A wonderful column by Johannes Heidecker about the rural potential of North Macedonia combined with the digitalisation!
“But do we have to sit in a small apartment block on a high-rise building, or can we do the same in the countryside?
What if we could combine some of these elements? Like the people in the mountains who renovated their village houses, painted the walls, cooked a hearty breakfast, and invited tourists from other countries. Or by looking for remote work opportunities and visiting the big city once a week or so? Would it be an opportunity to enjoy the beauty of the country, the benefits of a clean environment far from the brutalist walls of neighboring city blocks?”
The Ministry of Education and MAM established a three year collaboration within the field of environmental education in our schools. GENERALKA WEEKEND as the main event should also become an educational framework within the curriculum of pupils to deepen topics like circular economy, renewable energy, waste selection and environmental protection. We are nothing less than happy and proud about this collaboration and the attention and efforts our Macedonian institutions are giving to the topic of environmental development and the green renewal of our country! Thank you very much!
Created for hedonists, people who want to enjoy comfort and aesthetic design, the Lotus Lounge Chair celebrates 15 years of existence, recognizable by numerous bimbags designs. Their creator is Anita Gajtanovska, who decided to return from the capital to her native Prilep and continue building the brand, which today is popular not only on the domestic but also on the international market. This episode is dedicated to Lotus Lounge Chair and Anita Gajtanovska, the woman who built a unique brand from a salary with dedication, creativity and a lot of work.
Today Vecer is releasing our fifth article from the series “Sto Ako…?” and this time its all about green building facades and how they will change the air quality in urban areas as well as giving isolation to our houses. We hope you will find it interesting 🙂

Today Vecer is releasing our fourth article from the series “Sto Ako…?” and this time its about a very dark scenario that could wipe out Skopje. Unfortunately this fictional scenario is rooted in real threats that our city and country are facing. We hope you will find it interesting.
We are very proud to announce that Buchim Borov Dol continues to support GENERALKA WEEKEND in 2025 as an Official Partner.

Во името на тимот на „Мен енд Маунтен“ и во името на сите соработници и партнери на ГЕНЕРАЛКА ВИКЕНД, изразуваме длабоко и искрено сочувство до семејствата на прерано згаснатите животи во огнената стихија, која се случи во Кочани.
Јазикот е понекогаш тесен да изрази вакви деликатни емоции. Тагата за страотната смрт на млади животи, ги преплави нашите срца со очај, чемер и горчина.
Во вакви безнадежни моменти, треба да смогнеме сила за трошка надеж и да пронајдеме искра светлина во овие мрачни лавиринти и конечно да се приближиме едни кон други. Заедништвото, колективниот дух и меѓучовечката емпатијата нека бидат нашиот зеднички јазик.
Како никогаш досега, треба да се обединиме околу идејата да создадеме иднина и дом, кои ќе ги обединат сите чесни и трудољубиви луѓе. Да трасираме пат по кој нашите деца ќе го пронајдат своето место под сонцето.
Не е доволно само да ги исчистиме од ѓубре нашите градови и да ги пошумиме нашите ридови и планини, треба да го прочистиме и нашето општество и да вдахнеме во него чесна наобразба, меѓусебно разбирање и почит кон самите себе.
Системот сме сите ние.
Секој од нас носи одговорност во заедницата.
Секој од нас е значајна алка во системот. Доколку едната алка се скине, системот станува нефункционален. Трепетот на секој од нас се рефлектира на трепетот на другиот. Доколку делуваме синхронизирано ќе делуваме беспрекорно.
Нашата љубов оди кон семејствата, кои претрпеа незамисливи загуби. Нашата љубов е кон сите луѓе во нашата земја, кои се чувствуваат скршено и осамено. Нашата љубов е кон сите оние кои веруваат во промени и веруваат дека можеме да имаме подобро утре. Нашата љубов е за сите вас, затоа што знаеме дека само заедно – рака под рака – можеме да се извлечеме од овие мрачни времиња и да го обновиме нашиот дом – само заедно – за сите!
