BACKGROUND
Every year, the authorities of the Municipality of Kumanovo appeal to all farmers, business sector and other stakeholders from the Northeast Region not to throw out the plant waste from their fields, not to burn the stubble, as well as to the quarries and other polluters not to pollute the air.
