New donation - Second STB children's velodrome

Through its long-standing CSR campaign "Vozi pravo, vozi zdravo", Stopanska banka continues to enrich the offer of urban cycling equipment in Skopje for the benefit of children and families from the City.
These days, the second STB Children's Velodrome was inaugurated, built in one of the most beautiful parks in the country, the Saraj Park, covering an area of ​​1,500m2.

In addition to the numerous sports and recreational facilities in the large park, families with younger children will now be able to practice cycling in urban conditions in a safe way, while also learning and mastering numerous traffic rules with the help of the installed signalization.
As with previous donations within the "Vozi pravo, vozi zdravo" campaign, the Bank received support from the City of Skopje in the selection of the location, design and execution of this interactive family content. Therefore, for the construction of the park, the Bank cooperated with the public enterprises, thus providing conditions for greater sustainability of the donation.

During the visit to the Velodrome, the Chief Retail Officer Mrs. Milica Chaparovska Jovanovska said:
"Inspired by the positive reactions and by the great utilization of our previous donations realized under the motto "Vozi pravo, vozi zdravo", we are confident that this new content in the Saraj Park will find a great response among young families.
We believe that every investment made in the promotion of urban cycling gives long-term positive effects not only at the individual level but also for the community – improved health, a cleaner environment and of course better mood.

Stopanska Banka remains consistent in its commitment to be an active member of society and, besides achieving excellent results from its operations, to be in continuous support of the community."

The Mayor of the City of Skopje, Mrs. Danela Arsovska, said on this occasion:
"This is another sports-recreational content with which we increase the offer and attractiveness for sports fans in Skopje. SC "Saraj" becomes the home of all lovers of cycling, rollerblades and skateboards, and they will also be able to enjoy other entertainment contents of one of the largest recreation centers in our city. I express my gratitude to the representatives of Stopanska banka, which as a socially responsible company within the framework of the campaign "Vozi pravo, vozi zdravo" realized another project significant for the citizens.
