"My message, now as an ordinary citizen, is that the hard work of building a prosperous country lies with the people themselves.

The outside world came in to help twenty years ago but attention has now gone elsewhere."

57 години по катастрофалниот земјотрес на 26 јули 1963, споменот за настраданите живее онолку силно колку и споменот за солидарноста со која светот му подаде рака на Скопје. 

Да бидеме горди на ова наше Скопје, нека ни биде потсетник да градиме заедништво и солидарност!
