The name was used for Macedonian Empire, later for the Roman Province, Byzantian theme Macedonia, until today for the region Macedonia and the state Macedonia. The name is believed to have originally meant either highlanders or the tall ones, possibly descriptive of the people. Archaeological findings show that civilization existed on the territory of Macedonia from the period between 9000 BC. and 3500 BC For the first time, the Macedonian Kingdom appears in the 9th century BC, and there is a dilemma about who was the first Macedonian king - Karan (considered to be the mythical ancestor of the Argeades) or Perdiccas I (the first historical king of the Kingdom of Macedonia) . The penetration of the Roman Republic to the east leads to the so-called Macedonian-Roman wars (215 BC - 168 BC) in which the Macedonian Kingdom, led by the Antigonine Dynasty, falls entirely under Roman rule, and the last Macedonian king Perseus was taken as a slave to Rome. It becomes a Roman province as part of the Roman Empire and is divided into two parts - Macedonia Prima and Macedonia Salutaris. In 837 AD, Macedonia began to fall under the rule of the Bulgarian state, and by the middle of the IX century most of Macedonia fell under Bulgarian rule and the other part was included in the Byzantine Empire. By the end of the XIV century, Macedonia was completely subdued by the Ottomans, thus destroying its economic and social system, as well as its further social and cultural development. After the First World War, Macedonia became part of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia and is known as the "Vardar Banovina", after the Second World War became an equal republic in the SFRY until 1991.Since 1993 Macedonia has been known as FYROM due to the veto which Greece has put in the UN on the name Macedonia. The longstanding dispute was resolved in 2018 with the "Prespa Agreement" since Macedonia agreed to use the name North Macedonia. From 11.02.2019 it is officially called the Republic of North Macedonia.

The Lake Ohrid carries its name. Ohrid Lake - the largest and most significant natural lake in Macedonia, from the biological point of view is the most important stagnant water ecosystem of the continent. Its geological age is estimated at about 2-3 million years and is the oldest in Europe.Thanks to these characteristics, in 1980 the Ohrid Lake and the city of Ohrid were declared a World Heritage Site, under the protection of UNESCO. The global importance of the lake is confirmed in 2010. when NASA and the International Astronomical Union decide one of the lakes of Saturn's moon Titan to be named "Ohrid Lake" (Latin Lacus). Ohrid and Ohrid Lake are one of the main tourist destinations in Macedonia. Due to the large number of churches and monasteries, the city is named Balkan and European Jerusalem. Turkish traveler Evliya Celebija visited Ohrid in the 14th century and noticed that there are 365 churches there, as there are days in the year. Ohrid is also known as the "City of Light", a literal translation of its old name, Lychnidos. The modern Ohrid is the heir of the ancient Lychnidos. According to the data, the city is first mentioned 2,400 years before the new era. Lihnidos was on the Via Egnatia, the oldest and most notorious Roman traffic road. The Ohrid region at the end of the 6th century was exposed to mass Slavic colonization. The Ohrid region until the 1930s was completely colonized by the Slavic tribe Berziti. Lihnid has since then been named Ohrid. Balkan Junior 2019 NEWSLETTER OEMUC” St. Naum Ohridski” Thanks to the work of Clement and Naum, the city of Ohrid, in the second half of the IX century, grew up in one of the most developed and well- known medieval Slavic cultural centers. Ohrid was not only the most important city in the region, it was also the most important educational center and source of literacy for all Slavic people. In Ohrid there is the oldest university in Europe (IX century), in the place of Plaoshnik near the city, there is the restored church of St. Clement whose findings point to the fact that there was a university from the 13th century . In Ohrid there are many historical monuments that testify to the immortality of the city, its fall and rise over the centuries, proudly above the modern Ohrid stands the Samuil fortress, which testifies to an old time in which Ohrid was the capital of one of the largest Balkan kingdoms - Samuel Kingdom.

    Introduction When the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes – from 1929 Kingdom of Yugoslavia – Was Formed in 1918, One of I

    Introduction When the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes – from 1929 Kingdom of Yugoslavia – was formed in 1918, one of its most important tasks was to forge a common collective identity. Intellectual elites in the young state with great optimism agreed that education would play a crucial role in this process. It should come as no surprise, then, that a relatively rich tradition of scholarly research into the representation of collective identities in Yugoslav education has originated, precisely to account for the failure of the Yugoslav project in the long term. Recently, a growing body of scholarly research has established textbooks as one of the more rewarding sources for studying collective identity in education, focusing on ‘what knowledge is included and rejected in ... textbooks, and how the transmission of this selected knowledge often attempts to shape a particular form of national memory, national identity and national consciousness’.1 For the Yugoslav case this emerging research field so far has primarily examined textbooks which were used in the period directly preceding, during and following the disintegration of Yugoslavia.2 However, as the present article hopes to illustrate, textbook analysis can also provide the historian with interesting new elements for the study of collective identities in Yugoslavia’s more distant past. With its focus on national identity in Serbian, Croatian and Slovenian textbooks before the First World War, and later also in interwar Yugoslavia, the work of Charles Jelavich still occupies a somewhat

    THE NEW “OLD COUNTRY” THE KINGDOM OF YUGOSLAVIA AND THE CREATION OF A YUGOSLAV DIASPORA 1914-1951 BY ETHAN LARSON DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2020 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Maria Todorova, Chair Professor Peter Fritzsche Professor Diane Koenker Professor Ulf Brunnbauer, University of Regensburg ABSTRACT This dissertation reviews the Kingdom of Yugoslavia’s attempt to instill “Yugoslav” national consciousness in its overseas population of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes, as well as resistance to that same project, collectively referred to as a “Yugoslav diaspora.” Diaspora is treated as constructed phenomenon based on a transnational network between individuals and organizations, both emigrant and otherwise. In examining Yugoslav overseas nation-building, this dissertation is interested in the mechanics of diasporic networks—what catalyzes their formation, what are the roles of international organizations, and how are they influenced by the political context in the host country. The life of Louis Adamic, who was a central figure within this emerging network, provides a framework for this monograph, which begins with his arrival in the United States in 1914 and ends with his death in 1951. Each chapter spans roughly five to ten years. Chapter One (1914-1924) deals with the initial encounter between Yugoslav diplomats and emigrants. Chapter Two (1924-1929) covers the beginnings of Yugoslav overseas nation-building. Chapter Three (1929-1934) covers Yugoslavia’s shift into a royal dictatorship and the corresponding effect on its emigration policy.
  • The Founding Trauma of National Identity in Films of Milčo Mančevski

    The Founding Trauma of National Identity in Films of Milčo Mančevski

    94 Homer, S., The Founding Trauma of National Identity in the Films of Milčo Mančevski Original research article Received: 13 October 2016 The Founding Trauma of National Identity in the Films of Milčo Mančevski SEAN HOMER American University in Bulgaria Summary The Macedonian filmmaker Milčo Mančevski is adamant that there is no such thing as Balkan cinema and he is not “a Balkan filmmaker”. He has re- peatedly stated that his films are about people and not place, and insists that it is a fundamental mistake to read a film that is from somewhere as necessar- ily about somewhere. In this paper I argue, to the contrary, that Mančevski’s films are deeply rooted in a specific geopolitical space. Mančevski’s films range across genre, time and place, their experimental form disrupts narrative conventions and presents the past as discontinuous and open. The films en- gage in complicated and often indirect ways with our relationship to the past and how the past can be represented. Mančevski’s films, I contend, struggle with the “founding trauma” of national identity, that is to say, with the crea- tion of the modern Macedonian state out of the ruins of the Ottoman Empire at the beginning of the twentieth century and more recently the expulsion of the Slavic population from Northern Greece after the end of the Second World War. Furthermore, his films deploy elements of a national imaginary to construct a unique “timeless” and “mythical” Macedonian national iden- tity. Keywords: Milčo Mančevski, Balkan Cinema, The Founding Trauma, Macedo- nia, National Identity Introduction In an on-line symposium of Balkan filmmakers and critics in 2007, hosted by the journal Cineaste, the editors asked the participants to what degree we can speak of Balkan cinema and what is the single most important issue that makes the biggest professional difference in their life as a Balkan filmmaker.

    sustainability Article Chinese Tourists as a Sustainable Boost to Low Seasons in Ex-Yugoslavia Destinations Andrej Agacevic * and Ming Xu Glorious Sun School of Business and Management, Donghua University, Shanghai 201620, China; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] or [email protected] Received: 5 December 2019; Accepted: 31 December 2019; Published: 7 January 2020 Abstract: Seasonality is a major issue for sustainable tourism as it governs the optimal use of investment, infrastructure and human capital. Given the increasing numerical and financial significance of Chinese outbound tourism, the ex-Yugoslavia (ex-Yu) countries, partaking in the Belt and Road Initiative, are presented with a potential boost to their Tourism and Travel Industry (T&T) by attracting Chinese travelers during the low season. In an attempt to provide an answer to the RQ and justify grounds for future research and efforts towards developing content and services for Chinese travelers, to be undertaken mostly by Tourism Boards and DMOs in ex-Yugoslavia, this paper explores several aspects: The importance of the T&T in the 6 ex-Yu countries, with focus on the Economic indicators; within the Triple Bottom Line’s (TBL) theme of Seasonality, the existence of meaningful overlaps or mismatches between trends in inbound tourism across ex-Yugoslavia countries and trends in China’s outbound tourism; if meaningful mismatches exist, especially in ex-Yu low seasons, could Chinese tourists be an asset? Although the focus is on the Economic dimension of the TBL through its theme of Seasonality, the other two dimensions, Social and Environmental, are also considered; potential effects and interactions of the Viable, Equitable and Bearable sub-dimensions are also discussed.

In this paper, we will consider heraldry in the People’s/Socialist Republic of Macedonia, understood by the multitude of coats of arms, and armorial knowledge and art. Due to historical, as well as geographical factors, there is only a small number of coats of arms and a developing knowledge of art, which make this paper’s aim feasible. This paper covers the earliest preserved heraldic motifs and coats of arms found in Macedonia, as well as the attributed arms in European culture and armorials of Macedonia, the кing of Macedonia, and Alexander the Great of Macedonia. It also covers the land arms of Macedonia from the so-called Illyrian Heraldry, as well as the state and municipal heraldry of P/SR Macedonia. The paper covers the development of heraldry as both a discipline and science, and the development of heraldic thought in SR Macedonia until its independence in 1991.

  • The Greece – Macedonia Name Dispute

    The Greece – Macedonia Name Dispute

    SECURITY IS WHAT THE STATE MAKES OF IT: THE GREECE – MACEDONIA NAME DISPUTE By Senada Lamovska Submitted to Central European University Department of International Relations European Studies In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Supervisor: Professor Michael Merlingen Word Count: 16 544 CEU eTD Collection Budapest, Hungary 2012 Abstract The main purpose of this thesis is to answer the question as to why the Greek-Macedonian name dispute has proven intractable so far. By drawing on the literature on the security dilemma and the Copenhagen school of securitization, I will argue, firstly, that the Greek-Macedonian name dispute has proven intractable so far because it is a case of an intertwined interstate and societal security dilemma, involving both territorial and societal integrity as reference objects of security. In addition to that, I argue that these security dilemmas are the result of securitising moves by politicians, official security experts, civil society actors and media organisations in Greece and Macedonia. These respective moves were accepted by the Greek and by the Macedonian population because of a number of discursive and non-discursive facilitating conditions, notably historical conditions, and demographic conditions.
