The closest family, colleagues, friends, students, and admirers of Ljupcho Melovski, in his honor and memory, climbed Mount Kitka. The Macedonian Ecological Society, in collaboration with the Mountain Club “Ljuboten” – Tetovo, organized the memorial march in honor of Professor Melovski, who left a significant mark in the fight for the protection of nature in Macedonia. His vision was so strong that it continues to live on even after him!
Those present reminisced about his life and work, recalling many moments they shared, his mission, and his activities in the Macedonian Ecological Society.
Most of the participants climbed Kitka along mountain trails, while some arrived at the destination by off-road vehicle.
Although Professor Melovski passed away in 2019, the memorial march as a tradition was established in 2021, as the pandemic and restrictions made it impossible in 2020.
This year, the march took place on April 29th, marking the fourth consecutive year.
