Petrovec, Republic of Macedonia
- Petrovec, Republic of Macedonia
Petrovec (Macedonian Cyrillic: Петровец) is a village in the Republic of Macedonia situated about 15 km southeast of the national capital Skopje. It is the seat of the Petrovec municipality.
Though rather small, the village name is known throughout the country as being the original name for Skopje Airport (before adopting Aleksandar Veliki, "Alexander the Great" as its title), the bigger of two international airports in the Republic of Macedonia. As a village, Petrovec is mostly populated by Macedonians, but it also has notable Bosniak and Roma minorities.
