many sawmills and cutmills for firewood and furniture. In the city
operate many kindergartens, three primary schools and a high school. Due to its
location on the European Corridor G-8, since a long time ago is planned an
extension of the railroad to Kriva Palanka and the Bulgarian border, which is
currently built to the village of Beljakovce. In near future will begin the
project for gasification of the town.
