Skopje Macedonia Square renovation and corruption claims

Overview

Skopje Mayor Orce Gjorgievski has initiated renovation projects at Macedonia Square to address long-term neglect. The works include horticultural landscaping, the replacement of damaged paving stones near the ‘Maked’ Gate, and a comprehensive restoration of the iconic underground fountain.

The fountain restoration involves replacing an old plastic sub-structure with a stainless-steel framework and installing an automated control system with equipment imported from Germany.

These efforts follow allegations of significant financial mismanagement during the tenure of former Mayor Petre Shilegov. Critics claim that approximately 480,000 euros are unaccounted for regarding a previous landscaping project, and have raised further allegations concerning misappropriated materials and failed green initiatives.
