  • Country Operations Plan
    COUNTRY OPERATIONS PLAN Executive Committee Summary Country: Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia Planning Year: 2005 Page 1 of 7 Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia 2005 Country Operations Plan September 2004 revision Part I: Executive Committee Summary: (a) Context and Beneficiary Populations • Political Context The current government coalition has been in Office for a year and during that time has steered a cautious but relatively stable course. The potential for a renewed conflict remains as inter- ethnic tension may easily be fueled by the weak legal order, a weak economy and a high level of unemployment. Full Implementation of the Framework Agreement (FA) is the key for further stabilization of the country and is one of the pre-conditions for integration into EU and NATO. The Government is satisfied with its implementation, some opposition parties continue to express their dissatisfaction with the manner in which it is being implemented, while others considered that the Government made more concessions than foreseen. The tragic death of the President in a plane crash on 26 February 2004 came as a serious blow and slowed the progress achieved so far as the country had to organize presidential elections during which time the implementation of the Framework Agreement was put on hold. By mid year a new Government was in place, however, with little change in the composition of the Government or in the Government’s programme of work. The Government is now facing one of its main challenges as there is strong opposition to the adoption of the package of Laws on decentralization, which calls for a decrease in the number of municipalities in Macedonia, redrawing of the state boundaries as well as fiscal decentralization.

It was him who first sparked my interest in the history of my hometown Skopje, where our family has lived and worked for generations. His stories, together with time spent in my grandfather’s shop in the Old Bazaar, formed my strong personal connection with the place. During my university years at Faculty of Architecture-Skopje, I got interested in our Macedonian architectural and urban heritage owing to the inspiring lectures of my Professor Jasmina Hadzieva. Later, with her support, I made the first steps in the research of Skopje’s Bazaar urban environment and prepared my bachelor thesis. Several years after, the remarkable opportunity to do research and study in Japan renew my professional interest in Skopje’s Bazaar. With amazing dedication and kindness, my Professor Hyuga Susumu from the Kyoto Institute of Technology made possible four field surveys in Skopje’s Bazaar with the graduate students from his laboratory.

  • Climate Change and Cultural Heritage
    Ministry of Environment and Physical Planning CLIMATE CHANGE AND CULTURAL HERITAGE FINDINGS OF A RAPID VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT AND RECOMMENDATIONS TOWARDS NATIONAL STRATEGIES FOR CULTURAL HERITAGE PROTECTION IN THE CONTEXT OF CLIMATE CHANGE PREPARED BY: OCTOBER 2013 Authors: Michael Schmidt Britta Rudolff Institute for Heritage Management ACKNOWLEDGEMENT The authors of this work would like to thank to all relevant national institutions (Ministry of Culture, Cultural Heritage Protection Office, National Institution Conservation Center Skopje, National Institution Stobi and the National Institution for Protection of Monuments of Culture and Ohrid Museum), the GIZ coordinating office in Albania and UNDP for their reliable and continuous support without which such assessment within a so limited timeframe would have never been possible. It is thanks to the great effort of these and many other colleagues who remain unmentioned that we were able to gather an amount of material required which allowed us to make some initial judgments on potential vulnerabilities of cultural heritage to climate change, to analyze past climate change related phenomena and to identify specific risks and challenges for the future. In some cases essential data required for detailed predictions, such as soil analysis or stratigraphies of geological layers were not available and hence our analyses and recommendations need to be seen as preliminary steps towards a future process of more detailed analysis. We hope that this report will be useful to those who assisted us and can make a relevant contribution to the forthcoming national communication in the context of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change. We hope that cultural heritage will find mentioning in this communication as one of the valuable resources of Macedonia which are at risk of destruction and decay as result of climate change phenomena.

    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF JULIE JIREL REED for the degree MASTER OF SCIENCE CLOTHING TEXTILES p in AND RELATED ARTS presented on X1,-b&*/2//?73 Title: MACEDONIAN WOMEN'S FESTIVAL DRESS FROM THE AREAS SKOPSKA CRNA GORA AND SKOPSKA BLATIJA Abstract approved: Redacted for privacy The purpose of this study was to analyze and compare the women's festival costumes of the two areas surrounding Skopje, Jugoslavia. It was also intended to preserve pertinent information for these cos- tumes, which are disappearing. A trip was made to Macedonia, and villages were visited in search of old, traditional costumes for the study. Few were located. Villagers were interviewed concerning their costumes, ethnological museum personnel were interviewed to validate findings and supply information not obtained from the villagers. Part of the information included in the study was obtained from observation of costumes in the collection of a dance group and the author's own collection. A small amount of information was obtained from libraries. Costumes were photographed. Costumes were identified as to fiber content, yarn character- istics, dyes used and fabric construction techniques. The study also included costume pieces and how they were worn, embroidery including the names of stitches, motifs and other forms of decoration. The Skopska Crna Gora costume included a black embroidered under- dress; a short white wool coat with handtwisted silk fringe; a dark red or maroon sash; a dark red or black vertically striped apron; and if the woman were married, two beige headscarves. An unmarried woman wore only one headscarf. The Skopska Blatija costume included a bright red and gold embroidered underdress, a red pin-striped wool coat, woven wool sash, apron with vertical tapestry woven motifs and a contrasting bright heads carf.
