The center of Skopje is going to have a new look by 2014 with new buildings, some 20 monuments and retouched and decorated facades of the present buildings surrounding the Macedonia Square.

The construction of these buildings and monuments has been planned and is being realized by the Government and the Ministry of Culture, as some of it is being carried out by the Municipality of Centar. The vision of Skopje’s new look was presented Thursday with a 3D computer animation in the attendance of Centar Mayor Vladimir Todorovik, Culture Minister Elizabeta Kanceska-Milevska, architects and other guests.

“This presentation is going to help Skopje’s residents get a better picture of what the center of the capital is going to look like,” Todorovik said.

The space where the fountain in the central square should stand was being fenced off Thursday and the preparations for laying the bases of the monuments to Goce Delcev and Dame Gruev began. The square will soon be dug up considering that in order to build the fountain with the monument to Alexander the Great and the church the underground installation should be relocated.
