These new measures, adopted by the Government, will first and foremost bring benefit to young people, young married couples and retired persons, Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski told a press conference on Wednesday.

The measure will enable citizens to resolve their housing problem under more favourable terms, thus contributing to the quality of life and family planning, Gruevski said.

The 'Free Thursday' project will enable students to visit cultural institutions and enjoy in their programs free of charge. Each Thursday, they will also have free access to the cable car that transports citizens to the Millennium Cross situated on the top of the Vodno Mountain in Skopje.

The measure for free railway transpiration once a month for elderly and young people below 27 years of age demonstrates the Government commitment to keep investing in the railway infrastructure.

The Government will keep working on turning its program, promises into reality by measures and projects that bring benefit to citizens, Gruevski said.
