View of Novo Selo

The Opština Novo Selo ( Macedonian Општина Ново Село ) is one of the Opštini and is located in the east of North Macedonia on the Bulgarian border. The main town of Opština with about 2800 inhabitants is located in the Strumica valley , about 10 kilometers from the state border and 20 kilometers from the town of Strumica .

history

Novo Selo has been an independent Opština again since 2000. Before that, the municipal administration was in Strumica, because the then administration of the city of Novo Selo leased the municipal rights of the city of Strumica at the beginning of the 1980s.

The municipality belonged to the Ottoman Empire until the First Balkan War in 1912 , then to Bulgaria , until it was ceded to the Kingdom of Yugoslavia in 1919 with the Treaty of Neuilly-sur-Seine . As a result of the conflict between Tito's Yugoslavia and the Soviet-led Eastern Bloc , the border with Bulgaria was closed in 1948. The traditionally close ties to the Bulgarian Petritsch region were largely interrupted. Novo Selo has been part of the independent Republic of (North) Macedonia since 1991. The border with Bulgaria was reopened. With the abolition of the visa requirement in 2009, cross-border exchanges were further relaxed.

population

According to the 2002 census, almost all Macedonians live in the Opština . Their share in the total population is 99.5 percent.
