Gevgelija - 2011 City of Culture
Skopje, 14 January 2011 (MIA) - Gevgelija is this year's City of Culture, succeeding last year's title carrier Kavadarci.
According to the Ministry of Culture, Gevgelija was selected from the 11 projects that applied at the contest.
"The municipality's project contains concrete, quality and diverse cultural content in the course of the entire year, along with spatial and staffing conditions for their realization", says the Ministry in a press release.
One of the reasons for Gevgelija's selection is the fact that the town does not have a national institution in the field of culture, and therefore this year's events would stimulate local cultural development.
Gevgelija follows Stip, Radovis, Bitola, Prilep, Veles and Kavadarci as an annual city of culture.
