The President of the Republic of Macedonia, Dr. Gjorge Ivanov, today, at the vineyards of “Dalvina” in Hamzali, municipality of Bosilovo, attended the celebration of the Orthodox holiday “St. Trifun”, the protector of vine growers. After the liturgy for successful harvest, held by the European Metropolitan Pimen, with the symbolic vine pruning, the start of the season was announced in the vineyards of “Dalvina”. President Ivanov wished all growers and winemakers in Macedonia successful harvest this year. Today, on St. Trifun, I wish all growers and winemakers plentiful and quality harvest. This message is typical for this day when the vines are pruned, and, with this custom, we continue a very long tradition, helping the work of the vine growers and wishing them plentiful and quality harvest. This time we are in Strumica, which means that not only Tikves and Povardarie are wine regions, but also there are investments and viticulture is developed here, President Ivanov said. At the invitation of the Macedonian President, the event was attended by the Ambassador of the United States, the Ambassador of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, the Ambassador of the French Republic, the Ambassador of Hungary and the Ambassador of the Republic of Poland. President Ivanov together with the guests visited the winery “Dalvina” in Hamzali, which is becoming a serious competitor with its quality wine, both at the domestic and at the international market.
