Dear citizens of the Republic of Macedonia,

Holidays are a time for new hope and new belief that a better and more successful year for all of us is to come. Holidays are a time when we wish health, happiness and good luck in the coming year.

On the threshold of the New Year, we are grateful to all citizens who made us glad, encouraged us and inspired positive thoughts and good deeds.

We are thankful for the hard-working entrepreneurs and farmers. We are appreciative for the caring parents. We are grateful to the artists who conquered the world scenes with their works, exhibitions and performances.

We are grateful to our athletes and talented young scientists who won recognitions for Macedonia.
We are grateful to the brave Macedonian soldiers who vigilantly guarded our security.
We are thankful to all those who love, respect and protect Macedonia.
We are all different, but we are essentially the same. Every one of us contributes to the creation of the image that others have of our homeland Macedonia.

Dear fellow citizens,

The coming holidays are an opportunity to remember the real values reflected in our thoughts and words, in our actions and habits, and in our future as well.
Therefore, may we rejoice the small things that make our life better!
May we devote all our attention, our love and respect to our families, our children, our neighbors and friends!
May we share the good thoughts and hopes with the sick, the infirm and those who need our comfort, help and support!
May we cherish our tradition of coexistence with respect and acceptance of the unalike!
Let us build the Republic of Macedonia in line with the highest European values, criteria and standards!
In everything we do, may we wish Macedonia the most sublime! Let us continue in competing in goodness because the future of Macedonia depends on ourselves!
I and my family wish you, the citizens of the Republic of Macedonia in the country and abroad, happy and joyful New Year and Christmas holidays!

Happy New 2015!
Dr. Gjorge Ivanov
