Macedonia's Archbishop Stefan said that the cross will be the "mountain of reconciliation and unity" and the "place of our spiritual renaissance", but this spiritual project has cost Macedonian taxpayers - including Muslims - around $2m.
Makedonski episkop Štefan rekao je da će krst biti "planina pomirenja i jedinstva" i "mesto duhovne obnove." Međutim, taj duhovni projekat koštao je makedonske poreske obveznike - uključujući i Muslimane - oko dva miliona dolara.
