SONCHEVA EP 6 – The Truffle Hunt with Angel Borisovski
As a country, nature was particularly generous to us and, apart from fertile soil for various types of fruits and vegetables, it also gave us ideal conditions for growing truffles – mysterious mushrooms. Truffles cannot be seen with the naked eye, but can be found in the ground with a special type of dog that sniffs them underground and with a lot of knowledge. Angel Borisovski from Struga has that knowledge, who is dedicated to growing truffles and their propagation, as well as organizing truffle hunting in several locations across the country. This whole adventure is called “Angel’s truffles” and can be experienced by anyone who chooses this unique and exiting experience. This episode is dedicated to Angel and his “Angel’s truffles”.
“Ghent to Kumanovo – a Belgian-Macedonian success trail”
The new year started with a reception in Ghent, organized by SON and Man And Mountain LLC and Belgian-Macedonian Business Club. It was the occasion to present the River Cleaning action in Kumanovo, supported by the province of East Flanders; the GENERALKA cleaning activity and the Belgian-Macedonian economic relations and the opportunities for Belgian companies, presented with the example of four successful projects.
Numerous guests from Provincie Oost-Vlaanderen, Flanders Investment & Trade (FIT), the government of North Macedonia, the Macedonian embassy in Brussels, the Belgian-Macedonian business community and the participating organisations had the occasion to meet and exchange. Jan Hozzee from Trefpunt presented the location and the idea behind the Ghent-Kumanovo activity. Hannes Jaeckl presented a movie about it and the vision of a waste-free country. Deputy Prime Minister addressed the public with his experience as a Belgian-Macedonian citizen and Hilde De Saedeleir presented the BMBC and the economic opportunities.
In the tradition of the BMBC there was a “Taste of Macedonia” buffet, made possible thanks to the support of numerous volunteers and generous sponsors, of which Pelagonia and Tikveš Winery, with many traditional and new innovative items.
Looking forward for future events to present the economic opportunities!
