imagine how many bellies that would fill if they didnt waste it.
No volk if it's not philip 2 it's a waste of money .The money could have gone to the poor.But if it's philip 2 then by all means.We don't want statues with double meanings around the place.

What a stupid comment, the point here is the statue has its place, however as Phillip II of Macedon not warrior with or without horse.

In the mean time, the statue of Philip was taken down in Plovdiv, due to recent reconstruction of the Roman stadium...Do you guys want it?

It would have to be renamed in Macedonia (apparently).

Every statue besides the warrior with and without a horse is properly named... You have Phillip II in Bitola and Avtokomanda, Aleksandar in Prilep and Stip.

I think after they reach a certain size their true identities must be hidden, much like our name during representation in sporting events.

fyrom cheering warrior on a horse, and one without one.

Statues with correct names seem ok but if they bs with dual names is not worthy of anything.Are thetoo scared to show the real name.

Razer why is it ok for Bulgarian slavs claim Philip as one of their own, but the grks get up set when macedonia does so?

Why can the shiptars teach their students that Alexander was albanian and have him on their coins, yet when macedonia does this the grks go running to the eurofags and complain?

@ Big Bad Sven

Wow, I wish you can calm down and travel to Bulgaria so that you know what you're talking about...Plovdiv is one of the oldest cities in the world and has been in the hands of many civilisations - from Romans and Macedonians to Bulgarians. During antiquity it was briefly ruled by Plhilip and this is why there was a statue of him in the historic downtown area. Not too big of a statue, I can post some pics if you want...The statue was removed because of the renovation of the old Roman stadium. Bulgarians are not claiming Philip, that's crazy.

Also, Plovdiv was called Philippoupolis during antiquity. I think Philip conquered it in 342 BC.
