The Working Group had already prepared 12 studies, the basic conclusion reached, being that the placement of monuments and sculptures had been illegal from the very start.

The most radical option is the complete removal of monuments and sculptures of “Skopje 2014,” the demolition of their pedestals and the melting of the shaped sculpture for which dozens of millions of euros were spent.
