The mayor of Gostivar, Arben Taravari, submitted a proposal to ZELS and the Education Ministry in which he recommends an extended break for this school year, which would last in December and January. The idea is to save costs and overcome the energy crisis.

It is during this period that it is the coldest, and there is an opportunity to save energy for heating. In contact with several mayors, I received their support and they believe that electricity costs will seriously affect the operation of the municipalities. The central government must take into account this proposal, because in the winter period these costs will grow and will be a serious blow to the state budget coffers, which is empty, Taravari said.
