BACKGROUND On December 2nd, 2011, the Macedonian Civic Education Center (MCEC) signed the Cooperative Agreement with USAID agreeing to provide support to USAID’s Interethnic Integration in Education Project (IIEP). IIEP is a four-year, USD 5.2 million initiative targeting all primary and secondary schools in Macedonia. The main objective of IIEP is to build awareness and provide diversity training, technical assistance, and incentives to school boards, directors, teachers, and administration officials in support of interethnic integration in education. It will build broad public understanding on the benefits for all citizens as a result from integrating Macedonia’s education system. IIEP will also create the political, social and economic environment need for Macedonia to achieve sustained interethnic integration in schools, in other educational institutions and eventually all of society. Complementing this, the project team will strengthen the capacity of school staff, students and parents to address issues of diversity and equity in their schools and communities. Project’s approach is comprised of four mutually-supporting and inter-related components. 1. Community Outreach; 2. Capacity Building of School Management and Teachers; 3. Demonstration Schools; and 4. Providing Incentives to Schools and Communities. Students, parents, teachers, administrators and school board members in all primary and secondary schools across Macedonia will be the primary focus of project activities. Additionally, BDE advisors and education inspectors at national and regional level will also be central to achieving sustained change and will actively participate in capacity strengthening activities. Achieving success also demands that IIEP actively engages stakeholders in schools, communities and local governments in the integrated mix of project activities. MCEC is implementing IIEP on behalf of USAID in partnership with educational institutions in Macedonia (Bureau for Development of Education, National Examination Center, State Education Inspectorate, Vocational Education and Training Center) and local NGOs (Center for Human Rights and Conflict Resolution, Loja, Sumnal, Multimedia, Macedonian Institute for Media and Youth Education Forum). 3 USAID Interethnic Integration in Education Project QUARTERLY REPORT #14, April 2015 – June 2015 2.

  • The Internal Macedonian-Adrianople Revolutionary Organization and the Idea for Autonomy for Macedonia and Adrianople Thrace
    The Internal Macedonian-Adrianople Revolutionary Organization and the Idea for Autonomy for Macedonia and Adrianople Thrace, 1893-1912 By Martin Valkov Submitted to Central European University Department of History In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Supervisor: Prof. Tolga Esmer Second Reader: Prof. Roumen Daskalov CEU eTD Collection Budapest, Hungary 2010 “Copyright in the text of this thesis rests with the Author. Copies by any process, either in full or part, may be made only in accordance with the instructions given by the Author and lodged in the Central European Library. Details may be obtained from the librarian. This page must form a part of any such copies made. Further copies made in accordance with such instructions may not be made without the written permission of the Author.” CEU eTD Collection ii Abstract The current thesis narrates an important episode of the history of South Eastern Europe, namely the history of the Internal Macedonian-Adrianople Revolutionary Organization and its demand for political autonomy within the Ottoman Empire. Far from being “ancient hatreds” the communal conflicts that emerged in Macedonia in this period were a result of the ongoing processes of nationalization among the different communities and the competing visions of their national projects. These conflicts were greatly influenced by inter-imperial rivalries on the Balkans and the combination of increasing interference of the Great European Powers and small Balkan states of the Ottoman domestic affairs. I argue that autonomy was a multidimensional concept covering various meanings white-washed later on into the clean narratives of nationalism and rebirth.

  • Los Levantamientos De 1903 En Macedonia Y Tracia
    "Abajo el Sultán, ¡Viva la Federación balcánica!" Los levantamientos de 1903 en Macedonia y Tracia Traducido del Búlgaro al Inglés por Will Firth (con fondos del Institute for Anarchist Studies). Gracias a Koicho Koichev por su ayuda con las expresiones difíciles. Traducido del Inglés al Castellano por M. Gómez. Imágenes de la Wikipedia y Wikicommons. Macedonia y Tracia, 1903. El Imperio Turco-Otomano estaba en un estado de decadencia. Durante siglos las autoridades habían gobernado un puño de hierro, imponiendo impuestos y otras obligaciones, pero en la mayoría de los casos permitiendo a las personas a hablar sus propias lenguas y a practicar sus propias religiones. Ahora, sin embargo, se vivían tiempos de crisis. Las fronteras del Imperio estaban retrocediendo y el control Otomano se volvió cada vez más duro y arbitrario. El espectro de las luchas de liberación amenazaban las posesiones cada vez menores en el sur de los Balcanes. Una insurrección brutalmente aplastada seguía a otra insrrección aplastada, así durante generaciones. Sin embargo ahora parecía que la hora había llegado: imbuidos con el espíritu de justicia e igualdad vivos en las comunidades de los pueblos y las aldeas, los campesinos y los artesanos se aliaron para liberarse de los males duales de la servitud feudal y la ocupación turca - para los rebeldes ambas fuerzas de represión eran lo mismo. Parece que la población, principalmente eslava, en Macedonia y Tracia veía el principado de Bulgaria, que había recibido una gran autonomía del Imperio Otomano en 1878, como una clase de modelo para su lucha anto- otomana. Bulgaria también tenía una importancia logística para los revolucionarios de Macedonia y Tracia - les daba armas y se producían explosivos que serían empleados en actos de sabotaje en las áreas bajo dominio directo turco.

The Habsburg heir apparent, Archduke Franz Ferdinand, was killed with his wife by an Austro-Hungarian subject of Bosnian origin, Gavrilo Princip, on 28 June 1914. The relatively insignificant incident with a local charac- ter1 gave the pretext for an ultimatum to Serbia, as Princip and his comrades were allegedly abetted by a secret organization formed inside the Serbian Army, Ujedinjenje ili smrt (Union or Death) or, as it was more popularly known, the Black Hand.2 Contrary to Austrian allegations, involvement of the Black Hand in the Sarajevo incident was quite subtle and indirect.3 It is, accordingly, unrea- sonable to consider the Black Hand to be the main conspirator in the assassination.

  • Why Macedonia Matters
    AHIF P O L I C Y J O U R N A L Winter 2012-13 Why Macedonia Matters Panayiotis Diamadis With the formation of the Former Yugoslavian n Republic of Macedonia (FYROM) in 1991, there has been a systematic effort to undermine the legitimate rights of the Greek state, particularly of Hellenes in the Greek Province of Macedonia. Selectivity, omission, and distortions of the past by FYROM have become routine. This extensive campaign of disinformation is aimed at undermining the legitimacy of the present borders. Motivating the arguments about history, language, culture, religion, identity and heritage is a struggle for control of the strip of territory between the Aemos (Balkan) Mountain range and the Aegean Sea, the land of Macedonia. Since earliest antiquity, the people to the north of the mountains have sought control over the fertile plains, strategic ports and mineral resources of Macedonia. In the twenty-first century, this continues to be the case. Despite FYROM’s endeavors to present the Macedonian issue as being about human rights, it is about territory and power. While Greece and Bulgaria have somewhat resolved their differences over access to the Aegean Sea through the framework of the European Union, land-locked FYROM has resisted all efforts to reach similar accommodation with any of its neighbors. The Macedonian issue, therefore, is not just a bilateral problem between Greece and FYROM. Bulgaria is just as concerned about the policies of governments in Skopje that endeavor to falsify the historical record and de facto challenge its established borders as well as those of Greece.
