Parts of Alexander the Great’s Statue Being Assembled at Skopje Square

Greece slammed FYROM on Wednesday over the erection of a giant statue of Alexander the Great, a hero Athens claims as its own, in its neighbour’s capital Skopje.
A giant, 22 meters tall bronze statue called “Warrior on a Horse”, was being assembled in the centre of Skopje, but it clearly resembles the 4th century BC Greek warrior. According to local media the statue, designed by the local sculptor Valentina Stevanovska, will cost €9 million.
Greek foreign ministry spokesman Dimitris Delavekouras said the move was “another provocation” by Skopje, which will further aggravate relations between the two Balkan countries.
