When the Serbs took over Üsküp in the fall of 1912, they tried to change the name of the city to Skoplje. There is even a famous photograph of two men taking down the official sign for “Üsküp” in Latin letters at the train station and replacing it with a sign of the Serbian form of “Skoplje.” But the local Macedonian Slavs continued to call the city “Skopje”; the Albanians continued to call it “Shkup”;
and the Turkish speakers continued to call it “Üsküp” as they had for the past 500 years.
