Battle of Skopje
Battle in 1004 near the Bulgarian city of Skopje
The Battle of Skopje was a battle in 1004 during the Byzantine reconquest of Bulgaria. The campaign was carried out in a slow and systematic manner, with campaigns sometimes continuing year-round rather than following the traditional seasonal pattern. The primary reason for mounting a long campaign was the realization by Basil II that Bulgaria could not be conquered in a single campaign.
