What statue do you mean? Ancient or modern!
Ancient statues of Alexander can be found any were in Greece!
Thessaloniki ( the modern capital of real Macedonia in Greece) has a modern statue of Alexander and some ancient parts of ancient statues at the Museums of the city!
Thesalonica was never a part of Illyria but it was always a part of real Macedonia(which is at the exact borders of Ancient Greek kingdom of Macedon or Macedonia)
Illyria was an area at the Balkans that included the present day North Albania, the entire republic of Slav-Macedonia (Makedonija and not real Macedonia which is a Greek region)and some parts of southern Bulgaria!
So you probably mean a statue in one of these countries!
I am not aware of any ancient or modern statue but it is not impossible to have one manufactured in the recent years!
So it would be either in Albania or Slav-Macedonia or Bulgaria!
{Be carefull not to confuse the ancient Greek kingdom of Macedonia or Macedon (which was the birth place of Alexander and it is entirely in Greece) with the modern state of Makedonija (or FYROM or Slav- Macedonia as they are not related at all). The confusion has started a few years ago because that small state started to use the name “Republic of Macedonia” causing a great confusion with real Macedonia in Greece.}
( Pelagonians were not a Macedonian (Greek) tribe!! They were conquered by Philip and became a submitted part to the Greek kingdom of Macedonia.
Slavic speaking all the way to Peloponnesus?
That’s really funny! Documented by whom? The Slavic-Macedonian propaganda? Actually there were 8 Slavophone villages in Peloponnesus and 6 in entire Sterea Ellada!(in a total of 7.567 villages, towns and cities)) I am very sorry but there weren’t any more! They were destroyed by the Greek Byzantines because they allied with the Bulgarians!
It’s better for anyone to try to use some serious arguments next time!
By the way were exactly in my answer the following answerer has found any racist remarks? I am curious to know! Unless he can’t read English so well so I excuse him!)

Illyria (Anc. Gk. Ἰλλυρία; also Illyris, Illyrikon, Latin Illyricum) was in Classical antiquity a region in the western part of today's Balkan Peninsula, founded by the tribes and clans of Illyrians, an ancient people who spoke the Illyrian languages. The delineation of ancient Illyria can pose a problem to historians, since before the Roman conquest the Illyrians were not unified into an Illyrian kingdom, and Illyria's borders before Rome are not always clear. For example, the Dalmatae, though classed as an Illyrian tribe by language, were only subject to the kingdom of Illyria for a short time and soon defected during the reign of King Gentius.

The answer is Prilep, Republic of Macedonia.

Shame again on the person prior for making this politcal & racial.

Anyways, the city is located on the northern tip of the Pelagonian plain. In antiquity, Prilep was the northern boder of the Kindom of Macedon & the southern border of the upper Macedonain tribe called the Paeonians. After King Philip (Alexander the Great's father) to this day, this area has been considered within the boundries of the greater Macedonian region. Prilep is located too far east to have ever been an 'Illyrian' city. It was however, under the jurisdiction of the Prefecture of Illyricum, within the Roman Province of Macedonia Salutaris

During the middle ages, Prilep served as the capital of the Slavonic Medievel kingdom of King Marko. At this time, much of the Balkan penninsula, as far south as the Pelepponeasus was documented as being Slavic speaking.

I'm about 90% sure that the city is called Thessaloniki (or sometimes Salonica)--it has a statue of Alexander, mounted on his horse, and it's located in Greek Macedonia, in the Balkan peninsula where Illyria formerly stood. You can double check with the link below.
