“Please leave me alone, or I will start being rude. Take it up with other illegal buildings. “

This is the comment of the city council member Nefi Useini when asked by TV 24 why he opened the unlawfully built pizza restaurant, right next to iconic Ohrid sycamore tree, for which there is a decision for demolition? And why as a city council member he respects neither the inspectors’ decisions nor the laws?

His party comrade from DUI, Ramiz Merko, the Mayor of Struga opened the restaurant. Merko hung up on us and did not answer why as a mayor he opened an illegal construction. Several public figures from the political life in the country attended the opening. After Merko cut the ribbon, the party continued with ten-minute fireworks. Today silence also from the mayor of Ohrid, Georgievski. He did not respond either to our calls, nor to the messages why he allowed the opening of his counselor’s building, which he had announced on several occasions that it would be demolished. Just a few days ago on a TV 24 talk show, Georgievski was categorical that the building will be treated like all illegal buildings, ie it will be demolished, the TV station reported.

On March 25, the Municipality of Ohrid gave ten days to Useini to demolish the metal construction and the platform on which it is installed, because there is no approval for their installation, nor a building permit.
