In North Macedonia, disagreements about history also involve statues.


The capital of North Macedonia, Skopje, is filled with historical statues and monuments, but the country's connection to the depicted figures is disputed. The statues, including those of Alexander the Great and other historical figures, have sparked tensions with neighboring countries like Greece and Bulgaria. The country's efforts to build a national identity through these statues have also faced criticism. The historical disputes have even hindered North Macedonia's entry into the European Union. The country's attempt to establish a strong national identity has been met with challenges, and the government's approach to historical figures continues to be a point of contention.
