The construction activities following the project “Construction of an access road to the regional shelter for homeless dogs” have been finalized, which means that the road leading to the shelter for homeless animals in the municipality of Strumica is fully functional and has been put into use.
This road is of great importance for the municipality of Strumica, but also for the entire region. As a Center, we are particularly proud of this project because the shelter itself was built through a project implemented by the Centre for development of South-East planing region, which enabled the municipality of Strumica to acquire a shelter in accordance with all standards, which will continue to be used by other municipalities from the region. In this way, the shelter will smoothly perform the work for which it is intended.
With the opening of the shelter, the homeless dogs will get the opportunity for humane and warm care, and at the same time, the long-standing problem that torments the residents of this municipality will be solved.
With the project, in addition to the 561-meter long access road to the shelter, a parking space, green area, parterre and horticulture were arranged at the entrance of the shelter, benches for sitting, trash cans and evergreen trees were also planted.
The total budget of the project is MKD 4,261,600.00, and it is financed by the Bureau for balanced regional development and the municipality of Strumica.
The Centre for Development of the South-East Planning Region, within the project “Early Fire Detection And Ranging for disaster prevention and management – eFIDAR” on July 29, 2022, in Hotel Sirius, Strumica, held a press conference attended by representatives of the firefighting units TTPE from Strumica and Gevgelija, the Center for Crisis Management, Directorate for Protection and Rescue, Red Cross Strumica and media from the region.

“Within the framework of the project, two specialized vehicles will also be procured for the territorial fire fighting units in Strumica and Gevgelija. A small rescue truck for the use of the Territorial Fire Fighting Unit – Gevgelija, which will also be used for the municipality of Gevgelija, the municipality of Bogdanci and the municipality of Dojran. A pickup truck for first response for the use of the Strumica Territorial Fire Fighting Unit, which will be used for the municipality of Vasilevo and the municipality of Bosilovo, the municipality of Novo Selo” – said Mrs. Julieta Gjurkova, Head of Sector at the Centre for Development of the South-East Planning Region.
“For us firefighters, it will be of great importance for extinguishing fires in open space, especially for inaccessible places affected by forest fires.” – said Mr. Aleksandar Gudev – Commander of TPPE Strumica.
This project is of great importance because it will be beneficial for the needs of the entire region whenever there is a major fire in the forests, many times at least two municipalities from the region are affected, and this type of procurement of specialized vehicles will facilitate interventions on the ground, and will also increase the efficiency of all four territorial firefighting units.
