“It is my great pleasure that today, in one of the most sports active cities in Macedonia, we are opening the twelfth Coca-Cola Active Zone. The correctness of our decision for installing Coca-Cola Active zone in Kavadarci, is confirmed by the great number of attendees here today, and furthermore, by the notion that this zone has been opened based on the requests by the citizens of Kavadarci. The success and results from this project are more than obvious – in 3 years we have set up 12 Active zones across Macedonia, while each day we are receiving new requests for opening of other Active zones in the rest of the municipalities. Throughout “Coca-Cola Active zones” platform, apart from the fact that we have encouraged an initiative for active lifestyle, sport and recreation, we are promoting a concept with wide array of benefits for the whole community, by inclusion of the citizens from different categories bearing the same interest.

We are continuing with the ‘Coca-Cola Active zones’ project, so we will see each other again very soon, at a new location with a new ‘Coca-Cola Active zone’.”, said Vladimir Kosijer, General Manager of Pivara Skopje at today’s opening of the “Coca-Cola Active zone” in Kavadarci.
