The five-metre-high monument of Nexhat Agoli instead in September 2014 was erected in the center of Skopje in the summer of 2016.
Agoli, a lawyer, communist, and partisan, was the first minister of social policy in the Macedonian government after the end of World War II. In 1948 he was arrested and imprisoned where he died while serving his sentence.
The erection of this and other monuments to Albanian national figures, which is part of the “Skopje 2014” project, is a result of a coalition agreement between VMRO-DPMNE and the DUI. The DUI submitted a proposal for the monuments of Nexhat Agoli, Pjeter Bogdani and Jusuf Bageri to Centar Municipality in June 2010, which approved the plan in October the same year.
