While the beaches of Ohrid are still blocked in institutional processes, according to Mayor Kiril Pecakov, on the shores of Lake Struga, Mayor Ramiz Merko warns that new beaches will be repaired.

Despite UNESCO's remarks on the lake shore and indiscriminate construction, and despite the reaction of Non-Governmental Organizations, Merko says the new beaches will have state-of-the-art equipment.

"There will be bars, sunbeds, tents and urban equipment.

The locations will be rented according to the existing model, with lease agreements calculated by the municipality ", said Merko.

He believes that tourism does not dare and can not stay without space and penalized until the Agency prepares the plan for the beaches of Ohrid.

The Mayor of Struga remains of the opinion that hotel facilities and urban equipment on the beaches are not illegal constructions.

Predictions are that this summer in the city of Struga will pass a significantly larger number of domestic and foreign tourists than in the last two years.
