Skopje is in for better days, said VMRO-DPMNE President Hristijan Mickoski in his statement congratulating the city on the anniversary of its liberation in 1944 during World War Two.

77 years ago our heroes fought and were victorious over the Fascist occupiers. They gained the freedom which we protect today. Skopje is in for better days, and we work for that better future, Mickoski said.
