Journal Articles, 2012, 53-69

Abstract: In this paper we illustrate the development of Kumanovo and Tetovo municipalities during the centrally planned economy within Yugoslavia and their share in the local economy of the Socialist Republic of Macedonia. We also illustrate the recent rational behavior of the citizens of Kumanovo and Tetovo that are engaged in the economy of Afghanistan and Iraq. The end use of the remittances that fuel the economies of Tetovo and Kumanovo are different one economy from the other. The possible explanation goes deeper in the characteristics of the early development of the two cities in the socialism before the 1990 when the transition started.
