The Preda Plus Foundation, as part of the project "BAIR - Joint Action of Bitola for Roma Inclusion", last week in the small hall of the Cultural Center in Bitola awarded 18 plaques to boxers of Roma nationality who made a significant contribution to the development of boxing in Bitola and Macedonia.
The event is realized within the sports activities within the project Bair - "Joint Action of Bitola for Roma Inclusion" funded by the European delegation, implemented by COSV - Coordinamento delle Organizzazioni per il Servizio Volontario, Municipality of Bitola and PREDA plus Foundation. The plaques were awarded by Lidija Angelkova, from "PREDA Plus Foundation", from the project "Bair", who at the beginning of the event explained why the plaques are awarded.
- In Bitola a large number of boxers were or are of Roma nationality, but unfortunately they are all somehow forgotten by the people of Bitola, although as everyone who knows boxing claims that they have made a great contribution to the development of boxing, but that they have achieved excellent results. That is why through this event they want to be reminded of them, and to be given plaques like, another evaluation of their work, trainings, fights, victories, medals…
