The Castle of Skopje, one of most important tourist attractions
continues to stay closed and under the supervision of the police.
Albanian historians express their concern about the situation. They say that the government authorities are trying the change in secrecy the Illyrian identity of the castle.
The historian Skender Hasani declared that the Castle is currently closed and is being guarded by Police Special Units. This confirms that secret works are being made inside.
The Castle of Skopje was closed for the visitors on February 13th, and incidents spurred after the decision for building a church inside the castle.
Although the Director for the Protection of the Cultural Legacy declared that on the foundations of the discovered church they would build a museum, the government officials themselves declared that the object that is being constructed is an Orthodox church.
Even after the incident, when Albanian protesters clashed with Police forces, the Prime Minister Nikolla Gruevski declared that the church near the Skopje Castle would be built
