Today, December 12, 2022, in the premises of the University of Tourism and Management, the rector prof. PhD Ace Milenkovski awarded the members of the "Next Time" group a Golden Plaque for spreading the Macedonian tradition and culture among young people in our homeland, the Republic of Macedonia.

"Thank you for every song sung, for every note played, for everything you create, which gives me both pleasure and anxiety, which deeply touches me personally and professionally. You and your music are an expression of patriotism and patriotism, and I thank you for awakening and nurturing these feelings among young people today," noted Rector Milenkovski when presenting the plaque.

He emphasized that one of the basic tasks of education across the entire vertical, from pre-school age to the highest academic degrees, is to awaken and nurture precisely these feelings among future citizens who should build and develop the state. "

That's how I raised my children, to love their homeland, to love their home. Wherever a person goes, whether to work, whether in the city, whether in a bar, or even if he goes professionally somewhere beyond the borders, in the end he always has to and returns home, because where the homeland is, there is also the home. he pointed out.

In the end, Rector Milenkovski once again thanked the members of the group for spreading the Macedonian song at home and around the world, because, as he pointed out paraphrasing his good musician friend, Macedonia extends as far as the Macedonian song is heard.
