Football is the number one sport, either we will build a healthy nation or we will leave the children on the streets, and this happens through sports and preferably through football, of course there is also basketball and handball, which has a huge tradition in Macedonia. But Vardar now plays in the Second League. A large sports team is also a state project, said the vice-president of VMRO-DPMNE Aleksandar Nikoloski, in an interview with Bogdan Ilievski’s Evening Show on Alfa TV.
“It cannot be just a private project, especially in a small country like Macedonia. Neither Crvena Zvezda, nor Partizan, nor Dinamo Zagreb are private initiatives”, added Nikoloski.
