This year, the Sector for Internal Affairs Veles decided to mark the Day of the Macedonian Police with a gesture of sincere gratitude and admiration for 14-year-old Ilija Gigov from Veles, who through his personal actions demonstrated that the most important qualities in a person’s life are honesty, responsibility, and kindness.
A few days ago, this young hero with a big heart set an example not only for his peers, but also for adults. Namely, while on his way to school, Ilija found a bank passbook and 23 banknotes in the amount of 2,000 denars each. Without hesitation, he immediately informed his parents, and the found money was reported to the police and promptly returned to its rightful owner.
At only 14 years of age, Ilija, through his humanity and goodwill, showed a high level of moral values worthy of respect and gratitude. His act represents a shining example and an inspiration to all of us.
