A multifunctional sports playground, a Government investment worth MKD 8 million (EUR 130,000), opened in a school in Novaci municipality on Saturday.

Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski put the playground into use, in the attendance of Deputy-Minister of Education and Science Spiro Ristovski, Youth and Sports Agency Director Marjan Spaseski, and Novaci Mayor Lazar Koteski.

"Next to the playground is the site of the new sports hall. These facilities will help children in their proper upbringing and development. This is our goal - fostering healthy lifestyle, building team spirit among the youth, as well as support to sport throughout the country", said PM Gruevski.
