Residents who live alongside Boulevard Illyria in Tetovo where just this month authorities introduced a new system of parking zones, by the the afternoon the residents had blocked the street.
They say they are angry because of the introduction of the parking zones, which is impossible to leave vehicles near their homes because parking is now limited to three hours.
“We have nothing against parking zones. We only ask that the Municipality enables us a guaranteed parking space, where we would pay a monthly ticket”, said Pero Jovcheski a resident of Boulevard Illyria.
For the parking problem, the residents submitted a petition to the Municipality of Tetovo.
“We put forward a petition to the Municipality of Tetovo, which was signed by more than 1,000 citizens. Through the petition we asked for free parking spaces for us within the framework of these parking zones or the Municipality should resolve this issue, after all, that’s what we pay them for. Unfortunately, the local government after receiving the petition, we received a negative response”, says Nikola Kiropulos, a tenant on Boulevard Illyria.
