Which plant - foodplant for Papilio alexanor magna / Macedonia/ is it? Pimpinela saxifraga maybe?
Is it Pimpinela saxifraga?

It's not Pimpinella saxifraga. You don't can determinate Apiaceae by this fotos, but Pimpinella saxifraga is a little Apiaceae. In Slovakia you find Ferula communis, Carum carvi and Pastinaca sativa as foodplants of Papilio alexanor, if you want to hatch this species.

Hallo Daniel,
eine genaue Bestimmung ist mit den Bildern,nur von den Blüten,nicht möglich.
Sehr wahrscheinlich,ist es eine Art aus der Gattung Seseli (Bergfenchel).Gruß, Heiner

Hello Daniel,
without pics of the leaves determination of this species is impossible.
Do you have some pictures of the whole plant?

I don´t know, if you can breed them with these plants. Only on Ferula communis I saw many larvae of P. alexanor ( about 40) on one big plant (more than 2,5 m).
At home, I fed them successful on Pastinaca sativa and Carum carvi, especially on the flowers and soft seeds.Look at the foto:
