To be more innovative. Then you have no need to copy from anyone. In communicating with foreign companies, you are at a higher level and you do not have the thought of \u200b\u200binferiority. And so, I paved my way to success with creativity and a lot of analytics. When it comes to ethics and trust, I followed the family foundation \u2013 explains Hoxha.<\/p><p>It all started in 1969 when his father with a little savings-a little loan, along with his two brothers, Hetem and Avdul, who worked as craft men, made the smartest move \u2013 buying a shop with only 6 square meters in the Old Bazaar in Skopje. This was the starting point for today\u2019s success of the Emerald Jewelry Workshop.<\/p><p>\u201cWe did not succeed because we were stronger or wiser, but because we were together, dedicated and with great and good will,\u201d Hoxha says.<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/pivaraskopje.com.mk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/20019-12-02_raw-10.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-31134\" src=\"https:\/\/pivaraskopje.com.mk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/20019-12-02_raw-10.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"582\" height=\"776\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pivaraskopje.com.mk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/20019-12-02_raw-10.png 582w, https:\/\/pivaraskopje.com.mk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/20019-12-02_raw-10-225x300.png 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 582px) 100vw, 582px\" \/><\/a><\/p><p>He is the seventh child in the family and bears the name of his grandfather Nebi. He says that in addition to the family hierarchy, as an apprentice in the Bazaar he had to learn the craft men code of ethics \u2013 respect for customers, especially the elderly, serving tea or coffee, maintaining personal and ambient hygiene, manner of speech, quality service, good neighborly relations with everyone, regardless nationality or religion.<\/p><p>\u2013 When I finished my studies, I was thinking what to do as an intellectual to modernize the traditional craft into something more interesting and profitable. Slowly but surely, we have grown and achieved success, which is difficult to achieve in such intense competition and in such circumstances. Tradition, education and professionalism \u2013 this is the foundation of self-confidence as a sacred trinity of success. On the long run, in reality, the three pillars must be respected. I would add that for anyone who wants to start or is already engaged in jewelry, patience, intelligence and honesty are needed. In the end, as a manager with the vision of \u201cEmerald\u201d I managed to make the development from a family-owned craft business into an international company \u2013 Hoxha says.<br \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-36185\" src=\"https:\/\/pivaraskopje.com.mk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/20019-12-02_raw-04.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"770\" height=\"506\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pivaraskopje.com.mk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/20019-12-02_raw-04.png 770w, https:\/\/pivaraskopje.com.mk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/20019-12-02_raw-04-300x197.png 300w, https:\/\/pivaraskopje.com.mk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/20019-12-02_raw-04-768x505.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>If you fall asleep today, tomorrow you are gone<\/strong><\/p><p>The competition in Skopje is so great that if you \u201cfall asleep\u201d a little, you are gone the next day.

There have been downturns in his business career, but he says:<\/p><p>\u2013 A man who has fallen once in a lifetime and rises up again has learned from his own mistakes. In 2008, due to the global crisis, the price of gold rose so much that the whole business stopped. And in that difficult moment, I made the biggest turning point in my career, which was crucial. I invested in real estate and so I multiplied the value of the investment. Today we have successful businesses in construction, hotel, manufacturing (furniture factory), opening schools and expanding even further. The latest investment is the shopping center in Kosovo, Ferizaj Retail Village, as one of the most innovative in the Balkans. All of these companies are part of the OXA Group, most of them family owned. In your life, and when you find it most difficult, resourcefulness can bring a positive outcome.<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/pivaraskopje.com.mk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/20019-12-02_raw-08.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-31137\" src=\"https:\/\/pivaraskopje.com.mk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/20019-12-02_raw-08.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"864\" height=\"489\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pivaraskopje.com.mk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/20019-12-02_raw-08.png 864w, https:\/\/pivaraskopje.com.mk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/20019-12-02_raw-08-300x170.png 300w, https:\/\/pivaraskopje.com.mk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/20019-12-02_raw-08-768x435.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 864px) 100vw, 864px\" \/><\/a><\/p><p><strong>We must stimulate the young<\/strong><\/p><p>As President of the Chamber of Commerce of Northwest Macedonia, he has many responsibilities \u2013 supporting, promoting, networking the business community not only in our country, but beyond.

Access to finance for domestic SMEs through lower interest rates must be improved and the various grants used to grow our businesses and be more competitive in regional and global markets. We need a women entrepreneurship program.

He says that the state should invest a lot more in this area for talented young people who have ambitions and who will demonstrate their personal success at their best. The future and general well-being of the citizens of this country will depend on that.<\/p><p>\u2013 We are a small country and if we are well organized, we can raise the economic standard very quickly. There are many talented young people who need to be stimulated, supported and encouraged to contribute to a better future. Thinking about going abroad is easy, but there as well nothing is simple and easy to earn.<\/p><p>Anyone who wants to work and earn money can do that here. Long-term consideration should be given to more youth support, with various forms of stimulation. Education must be fundamentally reformed. If we act on such a strategic plan, then the future is secured. China is a fresh example. Twenty years ago, no one could have imagined that China would have such economic growth. That growth is only a result of investing and reforming the education system \u2013 Hoxha says.<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/pivaraskopje.com.mk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/20019-12-02_raw-06.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-31140\" src=\"https:\/\/pivaraskopje.com.mk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/20019-12-02_raw-06.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"925\" height=\"552\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pivaraskopje.com.mk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/20019-12-02_raw-06.png 925w, https:\/\/pivaraskopje.com.mk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/20019-12-02_raw-06-300x179.png 300w, https:\/\/pivaraskopje.com.mk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/20019-12-02_raw-06-768x458.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 925px) 100vw, 925px\" \/><\/a><\/p><p>He has reached professional heights, now things are naturally developing.
