Maybe it is just missunderstanding of word "monument"? In "Wiki Loves
Monuments" it does not mean a memorial statue of the person, but an
"unmovable pice of human heritage" such as historical buildings, old
towns, old cementaries, etc. So - a recently built memoral of recent
political or social activities rather do not fulfill the definition.
In order to avoid this missunderstanding we called our (Polish) part
of "Wiki Loves Monuments" -"Wiki Lubi Zabytki". Maybe in Macedonian
there is similar word to Polish "zabytek" ?
