One of my first experiences as eu high representative was working with the nato secretary-general in skopje on a constitutional settlement between slav and albanian communities .
Supporters of the plans said that , after decades of stagnation , skopje would at last get the regeneration it deserves , its heroes commemorated in marble and bronze .
Rebuilt after an earthquake in 1963 wiped out most of the city , skopje , the capital of the ex-yugoslav republic of macedonia , was for years characterised by ugly concrete blocks and strange empty spaces .
So when the macedonians said they planned to put up a statue of alexander in the centre of skopje , many assumed it was a joke to rile the greeks , who see him as central to their history and culture .
But earlier this year nikola gruevski 's conservative government produced a video that revealed the full ambition of " skopje 2014 " , its plan for a radical reinvention of the city centre .
