Skopje - European capital of kitsch?

Macedonian capital Skopje has been changing its appearance - and not everyone is happy. The former government initiated a controversial urban renewal project seven years ago and it's still ongoing.

For others, it was a political scheme to leave an inappropriate cultural legacy - with a ballooning price tag. Our reporter Ivana Davidovic traveled to Skopje to find out what the controversy is all about.
