"For the whole finishing of the cross we need about 400.000 euros, for the road 85.000, for the lift and the restaurant 350.000 euros. A part of money we get from the government and the rest from donations. In january we will have a tender for the construction of the rope railway," said Blagoja Dojcinovski, the president of the Millenium cross foundation.

Monday there will be a donator's conference in hotel Aleksandar Palace, beginning at 19.00 and there is also a possibility to donate by phone at 0038970143155.

MD: Off off, the millenium cross, it has been standing there for quite a few years now and still hasn't been finished. Even for a long time the electricity hasn't been paid because of a money shortage. Typicall Macedonian thing, something is being build very fast and then it will never be finished.
