The official database of buildings, new facades, sculptures, monuments, fountains and other structures which are components of Skopje’s makeover financed by public funds
The monument to Josif Bageri is a result of the coalition agreement between VMRO-DPMNE and its Albanian coalition partner, the Democratic Union for Integration (DUI), about the representation of prominent ethnic Albanian figures in the “Skopje 2014” project.
DUI’s initiative for “Skopje 2014” to reflect the multi-ethnic character of the state was adopted by the council of Centar Municipality. Following this decision, a call for bids was released for the conceptual design of three monuments. The monument to Josif Bageri, a Catholic priest who took part in the development of the Albanian alphabet was amongst them.
