Feb 26, 2018 (newstodate): Mecodonia's government has now announced the name-change of its international airport at Skopje.
Skopje Alexander the Great Airport will thus henceforth be renamed Skopje International Airport.
In December 2006, the airport became named Skopje Alexander the Great Airport to celebrate the country's alleged hero, Alexander the Great.
This, however, caused strong frictions with neighboring Greece that might also claim the Greek identity of the national hero.
After meetings at high levels at the recent Davos event, the leaders of the two countries have agreed to ease tensions, which will remove the blockade against Macedonia's request for admission into NATO and EU.
