Defence Ministry Starts Procedure to Build Statues Honouring Late Defenders

The Defence Ministry has started the procedure to build statues honouring late defenders in Ljubotenski Bacila, Karpalak, and Vejce.

“Considering the attempt by mayors of municipalities to which the initiative was submitted to politicise this initiative, Defence Minister Slavjanka Petrovska, wanting to preserve the life, work, and sacrifice of the killed defenders, has started procedure which does not require consent from municipalities and which will enable these statues to be built at the aforementioned locations,” the Ministry said on Monday.
