In the early morning hours on 07.11.1996, the Area Control Centre Skopje took over the responsibility over the entire airspace of the Republic of Macedonia which was controlled by Belgrade until then in accordance with the division between Air Traffic Controls in Zagreb and Belgrade since the time of SFRY.
