São Tomé and Príncipe is an island country in west-central Africa, consisting of the islands of São Tomé and Príncipe and the surrounding islets, with the capital, São Tomé, located in the northeastern part of São Tomé. Located on the Gulf of Guinea, about 200 kilometers from the African continent, the country was colonized by Portugal in the 15th century and became independent in 1975, with Portuguese as the official language and an economy based on agriculture (cocoa, palm oil) and tourism. It should be noted that "Java" is not a city or region of the country; Java is the main island of Indonesia, with cities such as Jakarta and Surabaya, and has nothing to do with São Tomé and Príncipe, possibly due to a confusion of names.
Probishtip is located in the eastern part of North Macedonia and is an important town in the Eastern Statistical Region, situated in the southern foothills of the Ostovo mountain range and bordered by the neighboring regions of Shtip and Delcevo. The economy of the region is based on mining, with the historic Sasha lead-zinc mine, which is one of the most important centers for mining and processing of mineral resources in North Macedonia. The region has a rich cultural heritage, with monuments such as the medieval Byzantine-style St. George's Church, which attracts many tourists every year. Traditional handicrafts and folklore festivals, such as the fall harvest festival, have been preserved in the area, providing a strong Macedonian flavor. Thanks to its natural and cultural heritage, the Probištip region is an attractive town in eastern North Macedonia.
