Vevchani - Republic of Macedonia

Описание: 07.08.2007
The area of the Municipality of Vevcani is situated northwest from the City of Struga and Lake of Ohrid. It is positioned from east to west, from the base over the hilly terrain, up to the sharp crest of the mountain of Jablanica. It is adjoining the Municipalities of Struga, Velesta and Labunista, and, in its narrower part, with the borderline with the Republic of Albania.

"The case of Vevcani", which manifested in its most drastic form through the two interventions of the police on 26 May and 7 August 1987, from the distance of almost one and a half decade and in a historical context, finds its meaning exactly in the continuous resistance of the people of Vevcani to anyone's encroaching to take their rights. In fact, it turned to be the strongest metaphor of their eternal struggle to sustain on this area, and of the insubordination that, for ages, initiated development processes and considerations for broadening of the freedoms and the rights.

Вевчани одбележува две децении од протестите
[07.08.2007] Со развиорени знамиња, биење на камбаните, мирен протестен собир и доделување на Ордените на непокорот денеска Вевчани го одбележува 20-годишниот јубилеј од протестите со кои на 7 август 1987-мата неговите жители го дадоа клучниот отпор против тогашниот режим, не дозволувајќи му со повеќемесечни блокади да го подели изворот на живот за вевчанци, нивните извори богати со вода.
