A new kindergarten “Sonce” for 200 pre-school children is formally opened Friday in Skopje municipality of Aerodrom.

A sufficient number of kindergartners is one of the greatest wish for many municipalities, cities and countries, Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski said at the opening ceremony.

Plummeting of the birth rate and aging of population is a concern for many European countries, including Macedonia. For the last 50 years the country's birth rate has been halved and therefore the Government pursues politics which aim is to encourage couples to have more children, Gruevski said.

"Hence, we are pleased to see that some municipalities need opening of new kindergartners," Gruevski said.

Labor and Social Policy Minister Spiro Ristovski said today the kids of this municipality were getting a new facility for education and entertainment.

Aerodrom Mayor Ivica Konesvski said the municipality would keep realizing projects for improving the every-day life of its residents.
