The center of the Macedonian tobacco, Prilep, the city under Marko’s towers, today is struggling with the economic crisis and unemployment. The city is an infamous regional leader in unemployment. It’s hard for a small business to survive, so you can see closed shops at every turn. The city can boast of organizing “Pivofest”, but not with good infrastructure. For a long time, Prilep had serious problems with the city water supply and water scarcity. For the mayor’s chair in the race, for the first time, Ilija Jovanovski from SDSM and for the fourth term, Marjan Risteski from VMRO-DPMNE.
