Shilegov: The place for a Panoramic Wheel is in an amusement park, not the riverbed of Vardar

-

The centre of Skopje is not an amusement park, and the place for a panoramic wheel is in an amusement park, and not by the riverbed of the Vardar river, stated SDSM candidate for mayor of the City of Skopje, Petre Shilegov.

He said that if he becomes mayor, he will consult the public with expertise on all decisions.

“That way we will find the best expert solution in order to make a valid decision. If you make a decision about what will happen with “Skopje 2014”, you will be the new Nikola Gruevski. As for the panoramic wheel, all aspects need to be looked at, to see what’s happening with the project. Its place is not on the riverbed of the Vardar river. However, everything we do, we will do the least harm to the citizens, as it is their money which was invested. I hope that this project will succeed in a timely manner, if it is not too far along, we can stop the panoramic wheel’s location, it’s place is in an amusement park. The centre of Skopje is not an amusement park”, said Shilegov.

He said he would respect the will of the citizens about the look of GTC and leave it open to everyone.
