The number of employees in the plant “Kromberg and Schubert” in the industrial zone Zabeni in Bitola is increasing. This was said today by the Bitola Mayor Vladimir Taleski.
According to Taleski, the citizens of Bitola on the Open Day have shown interest in new employments, urban planning, municipal infrastructure, transportation and the public transport in the city.
- We solve some of the problems immediately at the open meetings with citizens, and requirements that are not within our power are diverted to the relevant institutions. These meetings help us to perceive the issue of our fellow citizens, and unemployment remains the most common topic, Taleski said.
For this problem, he said, we have managed to help a lot.
- The number of employees “Kromberg & Schubert” in Bitola is increased to over 1,200 people, Taleski said.
Taleski was accompanied by the heads of all municipal departments at the Open Day with citizens.
