The Sobranie Palace (Macedonian: Палата на Собранието, romanized: Palata na Sobranieto, Albanian: Pallati i Kuvendit), in Skopje is the seat of the Assembly of North Macedonia. The building was constructed in 1938 during the existence of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. Initially intended to house the administration of the Vardar Banovina, it became the seat of the new post-World War II Yugoslav constituent Socialist Republic of Macedonia in 1944. Since 1991, following the country's independence, the building has served as the home of the Assembly of North Macedonia and till 2009 the office of the President of the Republic of North Macedonia. The palace was the first building affected by the controversial Skopje 2014 project.[2]
