Can Serbian dinars be exchanged in the Republic of Macedonia?
I just crossed the border from Serbia to the Republic of Macedonia and was surprised that the currency exchange booth on the Macedonian side accepted Euros but not Serbian dinar.
Generally I've found even in places that are not very friendly at least at the border it's possible to exchange money if not elsewhere.
Does this mean that I won't be able to change my Serbian money for Macedonian money? I didn't expect Macedonia to be on unfriendly terms with Serbia.

According to the girl at the reception here at a hostel in Skopje there is an Exchange office in the Ramstore mall, next to the museum of Skopje. There they do exchange RSD, however I have not tried this myself. Worth a try.

Where can I change money in Serbia?
Currency exchange in Belgrade (including at Belgrade Airport) accept Sterling, US Dollars and Euros. British banks don't generally exchange Dinars. You should exchange any unwanted Dinars before you leave Serbia. You should only change money through banks or official exchange offices and not through street dealers.Is Serbia a closed currency?
It's a closed currency so you can only buy it in Serbia. Most places accept card but it's not as widespread as Western / central Europe (e.g. may not be accepted in every bar or kafana, card not accepted when buying bus tickets). Use atm at airport for initial cash.Are Euros accepted in Macedonia?

(I'm promoting and editing my comment to an answer since we haven't received anything better)
While I was there (almost a week) I found only one exchange place in Skopje which didn't list RSD but did buy them when we asked about it (no selling though). The rate was terrible, about 25% below the official rate!
I was suggested to try the bus station but never tried as I managed to swap some cash with a traveller in my hostel heading the opposite way.
