Roof construction of the former “Jugobanka” building fell down on the roof of the neighboring building due to strong wind. Damage is estimated at around EUR 4,000. It is considered that around three tones of construction material fell down.
 
– On 27th February around 10:30 AM, wind caused for part of the roof to fall down on our roof, however, part of it also fell down on the street and in the yard behind the building. At that moment, fortunately there were no passers-by and no one was hurt. We immediately undertook measures to repair the roof. Repair is almost completed, Rade Dimovski, one of the tenants said.
Building at “Luj Paster” street dates from 1956 and there is concrete plate as a roof, rather than usual soft ceiling. This is the third time for the roof of former “Jugobanka” building to fell down on their roof.(MIA)
