The two international airports in Macedonia, in Skopje and in Ohrid, are likely to be renamed soon into "Aleksandar Makedonski" (Alexander of Macedonia) and "Sveti Pavle" (St. Paul).

The procedure has already begun, Zoran Stavrevski, the head of airports administration, confirmed to the electronic media, explaining that they forwarded the proposal to the Justice Ministry.

The Ministry voiced positive opinion and as soon as the Government endorses the proposal, renaming will take place.

The current names of the airports in Macedonia are dating from the time when Republic of Macedonia was part of the former Yugoslavia.

Alexander was Greek and spoke Greek. So they should name the airport "Megas Alexandros" as he was known. Not Makedonski and Makaroniski and bullshit.

I agree with you Sotos but those names might mean the same in Slavic-Macedonian thats why the name that like that...I do not disagree with you but tell me how many names of places do we have with English names??? But we hate that ... so what do you think about them???They will love the idea of changing those names to names that they will need translation???
