Minister of Labor and Social Policy Spiro Ristovski saw off Sunday the first group of children to a free holiday in Struga, thus launching a realization of the Government's project for supporting children from families at social risk and those who are beneficiaries of social welfare.

"The Government has kept its promise. Today I am seeing many happy faces of children and parents of those with special needs. I believe that we will see many children's smiles during the whole summer," Ristovski said.

A total of 3000 children from fifth to eighth grade will enjoy a free summer or winter holiday in tourist resorts or children's facilities across the country.

The project is being realized in cooperation with Macedonia's Red Cross.
