The removal marks the enforcement of a decision of the government to rename the airport in Skopje, TAV Macedonia - the concessioner of the Macedonian airports - has stated.

Starting Saturday morning, letters on the sign in the building are being changed. The airport is renamed into Skopje International Airport.

A few days ago, workers started removing signs bearing the name Alexander the Great highway along Corridor 10. The motorway has been renamed into Friendship Highway.
