Skopje 2014?
Posted: Wed May 4, 2011 08:01 PM UTC
I have come across a video about Skopje 2014. Unfortunately I do not speak Macedonian, so I am not too sure what the whole thing is about. The project seems quite ambitious but, what exactly is going on in Skopje? Is the project in progress already? When is it due to be completed?

Thanks
Eugene

I also saw the video and wonder if there's any progress...I'll hopefully be in Macedonia this summer so may give you a personal update afterward...

Thanks for the link.

So the project is going ahead... Interesting. I guess this will be a good excuse for me to finally make up my mind a visit Skopje in 2015!

Thanks a lot.

As the title says, that project should be completed in 2014.
So far several big statues are put on crucial locations and many buildings are in progress. Those buildings are replicas of the buildings destroyed in WWII and during the mayor earthquake 1963.(old theater officer home and other}.
As usually in this part of the world, this project is matter of politic games between the inside politic parties and also between Macedonia and Greece.

PS, Happy birthday piamans

Having just had a day in Skopje I can attest that the city centre is a major buiding site with buildings being repaired, new buildings under construction, major road works and improvements to the riverside areas.

But don't let that put you off. During my, all too short, visit I found the city to be friendly, lively and a positive pleasure. Simple things such as waiting for the bus to Sofia I was approached by a touting taxi driver. Having told him I was catching a bus he immediately made sure that I knew where my bus was leaving from and the time.

If you want a taste of the nightlife go to the Old Bazaar area and you'll find the bars and restaurants vibrant, fun and totally hassle-free.

Enjoy.
