Today I had the honor of receiving the decision from the Ministry of Economy for our project to support the development and advancement of craftsmen in Kumanovo and beyond. This decision is the result of our continued commitment to promoting and strengthening craftsmanship as a significant economic and cultural value.
In the words of the Minister:
“Today I have allocated financial resources for consumer organizations and for programs that encourage the development of craftsmanship, entrepreneurship and the competitiveness of the processing industries.”
Within the framework of this decision, significant measures and programs have been approved, such as:
Co-financing of projects for the development and promotion of craft activities.
Subsidizing 70% of project costs, up to 350,000 denars per applicant.
Support for craftsman networks for their program activities.
Concrete results for craftsmen:
• 26 projects with a total value of over 6 million denars will be supported.
• Laboratories will be supported to expand their capabilities and improve the quality of products.
This is a big step forward for crafts and small and medium-sized enterprises in our region. As President of the Chamber of Crafts, I express my great gratitude to the Ministry of Economy for this support, which strengthens our vision for sustainable development and promotion of traditional crafts at the local and national level.
Together we build the future of craftsmen!
