He said his government would not tear them down, however

Newsroom June 7 09:09

Zoran Zaev, the PM of FYROM said the previous governments of Nikola Gruevski had provoked Greece by erecting many statues of historical figures (Alexander the Great, Philip of Macedon etc), as well as renaming main roads and the airport of the country. Speaking to FYROM state television, Mr. Zaev said these moves had been one more act that had led to the deterioration of relations with Greece and vowed to stop adopting such policies.
