(Fyrom) / Music, Literature, Dance and Fashion Timeline / Before 1800 to 1920 / REPUBLIC OF MACEDONIA (FYROM) / MUSIC, LITERATURE, DANCE AND FASHION Date Country Theme 1810 - 1862 Republic of Macedonia Music, Literature, Dance And Fashion (FYROM) One of the most prominent Macedonian poets, folklorists and educators, Dimitar Miladinov(1810–62) is born in Struga. He spends most of his life teaching in the Ohrid region. His greatest achievement is the collection of folk songs between 1854 and 1860. 1814 Republic of Macedonia Music, Literature, Dance And Fashion (FYROM) The first book in Macedonian, History of the Frightening and Second Communion of Jesus, written by Joakim Krchovski (c.1750–1820) is published in Budim. Krchovski was a herald of the Macedonian cultural revival and went on to publish more books on religious matters. In the early 19th century in Macedonia only priests and other Christian dignitaries were educated enough to enlighten Macedonian people through literature in their mother tongue. 1816 Republic of Macedonia Music, Literature, Dance And Fashion (FYROM) The book titled Mirror by Kiril Pejchinovic (1771–1845) is published in Budim. This great Macedonian educator was born in Tearce near Tetovo. The first books in Macedonian published in the early 19th century were on religious subjects, which was understandable given that they were written by people of the Church. 1834 Republic of Macedonia Music, Literature, Dance And Fashion (FYROM) The birth in Ohrid of Kuzman Shapkarev (1834–1909), eminent Macedonian folklorist, ethnographer, educator and author of textbooks. Owing to his collecting activities a great deal of Macedonian intangible heritage was spared from oblivion. He was a teacher in Ohrid, Bitola, Prilep and Kukush. Later he worked and lived in Sofia. Although his collections of oral folk literature were published as Bulgarian, most of his works originated from Macedonia. 1860 Republic of Macedonia Music, Literature, Dance And Fashion (FYROM) Grigor Prlichev's epic poem "The Serdar", written in Greek, wins first prize at the annual poetry competition held in Athens. Prlichev (1830–93) was born in Ohrid. This prolific Macedonian poet and translator was a dedicated advocate of introducing the native spoken language in Macedonian schools. He was referred to as a second Homer, having translated the "Iliad" into the Macedonian language. 1860 - 1870 Republic of Macedonia Music, Literature, Dance And Fashion (FYROM) Marko K. Cepenkov (1829–1920) was born in Prilep. Among the greatest collectors of Macedonian oral folk literature, during the 1860s he was prolific in recording folklore creations. The importance of his collecting activities lies not only in the Date Country Theme volume but also in the diversity of folklore traditions recorded, including proverbs, sayings, tales, songs, riddles, charms, beliefs, dreams and interpretation, and children's games. 1860 Republic of Macedonia Music, Literature, Dance And Fashion (FYROM) The birth in Prilep of the first Macedonian composer Atanas Badev (d. 1908). He studied music in Russia and was conductor of several school choirs and of the first city choir in Prilep. 1861 Republic of Macedonia Music, Literature, Dance And Fashion (FYROM) Collection of Macedonian poems compiled by the Miladinov brothers is published in Zagreb. Konstantin Miladinov (1830–62), a prominent Macedonian poet, folklorist and educator is a major contributor. Despite a reference to Bulgarian songs in the title, the folk literature recorded by the Miladinovs originated mostly from the areas of Struga, Ohrid, Prilep, Kukush and Bitola. 1874 Republic of Macedonia Music, Literature, Dance And Fashion (FYROM) Beginnings of the Macedonian amateur theatre in Veles initiated by educator and playwright Jordan Hadzi Konstantinov-Dzinot (1821–82). Professional theatres open in the late 19th century. Vojadan Chernodrinski (1875–1951) is considered one of the founders of the Macedonian theatre. The premiere for his best-known play, the tragedy Macedonian Bloody Wedding was held in Sofia, Bulgaria, on 7 November 1900. 1902 Republic of Macedonia Music, Literature, Dance And Fashion (FYROM) Birth of writer Stale Popov in Melnca, Mariovo Region. He began writing early immortalising tales from Macedonian folk tradition about Itar Pejo (Smart Pejo). He achieved eminence after publication of his first novel Patchwork Life. His talent lay in introducing themes from social life. His other well-known novels are Kalesh Angja and Tole Pasha..

Bibliography 273 Abstract The nation-state is now the dominant form of sovereign statehood, however, a century and a half ago the political map of Europe comprised only a handful of sovereign states, very few of them nations in the modern sense. Balkan historiography often tends to minimize the complexity of nation-building, either by referring to the national community as to a monolithic and homogenous unit, or simply by neglecting different social groups whose consciousness varied depending on region, gender and generation. Further, Bulgarian and Serbian historiography pay far more attention to the problem of "how" and "why" certain events have happened than to the emergence of national consciousness of the Balkan peoples as a complex and durable process of mental evolution. This dissertation on the concept of nationality in which most Bulgarians and Serbs were educated and socialized examines how the modern idea of nationhood was disseminated among the ordinary people and it presents the complicated process of national indoctrination carried out by various state institutions.

  • Ohrid Lake - Important Resource for Cooperation of Local Government Between Macedonia and Albania
    International Journal of Scientific & Engineering Research, Volume 7, Issue 1, January-2016 111 ISSN 2229-5518 OHRID LAKE - IMPORTANT RESOURCE FOR COOPERATION OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT BETWEEN MACEDONIA AND ALBANIA Agni Aliu1 , Selvije Aliu2, Xhevat Bejta3 1South East Europian University Tetovo - Macedonia 2ETH - Zurich – Sweederland 3State University of Tetovo - Macedonia ABSTRACT: The aim of this paper is cooperation of local government between Macedonia and Albania. There are three cities on the lake's shores: Ohrid and Struga on the Macedonian side; Pogradec in Albania. There are also several fishing villages, although tourism is now a more significant part of their income. Lake Ohrid is the deepest lake of the Balkans, with a maximum depth of 288 m and a mean depth of 155 m. It covers an area of 358 km² containing an estimated 55.4 km³ of water. The water at the surface of Lake Ohrid moves predominantly in a counter-clockwise direction along the shore, as a result of wind forcing and earth rotation - phenomenon known from oceans. In terms of vertical water exchange, convective mixing during winter cooling is the dominant process. However in an average winter only the top 150-200 meters of the lake are mixed, whereas the water below is stably stratified by salinity. The stability due to this salinity gradient allows complete convective mixing events only roughly once every 7 years.1 Key Words: Lake Ohrid, water, protection, cooperation. IJSER 1H.

Dimitrov, Dusko Josheski, Mimoza Serafimova, Aleksandra Zezova “Goce Delcev” University, Faculty of Tourism and Business Logistics, Str., K. Misirkov 10 – A, 2000 - Stip, R. Macedonia Abstract The Municipality of Dojran has been labeled as a tourism destination for decades. The socioeconomic parameters are one of the essential prerequisites for promoting tourism. However, in the last years, some of these parameters have continuously been accompanied by adverse processes that have affected the development of tourism negatively. We will discuss, as far as we can, some of the socioeconomic parameters that are worth dwelling on regarding the promotion of tourism in the Municipality of Dojran. Keywords: The Municipality of Dojran, socioeconomic parameters, tourism, population, economic growth, development. JEL classification: J100, J190, O150 Introduction The Municipality of Dojran, as a lake tourism destination, mostly attracts tourists’ attention to stay and visit during the summer season. However, this approach is partially conditioned upon the limited socioeconomic opportunities for accepting and accommodating a greater number of tourists throughout the whole year. A few tables on the basic socioeconomic parameters of eight more cities-municipalities, where the tourism has a great influence on their economic growth, will follow regarding this. Thus, the cities mentioned in the analytical sample are as follows: Skopje – the capital, and an important tourist destination in the Republic of Macedonia, Tetovo – the second municipality based on the 523 [email protected] Vol 23, No.

This paper explores the direct and indirect connections among tourism impact factors in the area of sustainability. Exploratory factor analysis is conducted in order to assess the underlying dimension of residents’ satisfaction with given impacts of tourism development. The authors use the three-pillar sustainability concept (socio-cultural, environmental and economic) and suggest a model that measures residents’ attitudes on tourism impacts. The model is empirically tested by elaborating the case of Ohrid (North Macedonia). The study informs tourism policy makers how to manage tourism impacts and to improve sustainability perspective. The proposed model can be adopted and applied to any tourism destination facing unsustainable development. KEY WORDS: Residents’ attitudes; Tourism impacts; Factors. 53 INTRODUCTION Rapid tourism growth cause negative effects on the quality of life of locals, whomight harshly interrupt to enjoy the uniqueness of their destination. On the other hand, the evergrowing number of tourists brings forth rising income from tourism, thus benefiting local economy.

  • Sustainable and (Ir)Responsible Tourism in Ohrid: Residents' Perception
    Biljana Petrevska, and Tanja Mihalič. 2020. (UN)Sustainable and (IR)Responsible Tourism in Ohrid: Resident’s Perception. UTMS Journal of Economics 11(2): 202–212. Original scientific paper (accepted November 17, 2020) (UN)SUSTAINABLE AND (IR)RESPONSIBLE TOURISM IN OHRID: RESIDENTS’ PERCEPTION Biljana Petrevska1 Tanja Mihalič Abstract The aim of the paper is to identify the main factors that affect tourism development of Ohrid (North Macedonia) from the three-pillar sustainability dimension (socio-cultural, environmental and economic). Based on 630 questionnaires collected from residents in January 2020, exploratory factor analysis is conducted to assess residents’ satisfaction with given impacts of tourism. The research revealed positive socio-cultural and economic factors and negative environmental impacts, indicating that Ohrid is practicing neither sustainable, nor responsible tourism development. Despite having legislation and an institutional framework to safeguard Ohrid’s World Heritage property, many serious concerns were noted with regards to the sustainability values. The findings may assist policy makers in establishing tourism planning process and developing sustainable development strategies. Keywords: sustainability, tourism development, locals, UNESCO JEL classification: L83, Z32, Z38 INTRODUCTION Tourism destinations that are World Heritage (WH) sites often provoke large interest and attract many tourists. Large number of visitors increase tourism expenditure, thereby local economy benefits. Yet, the risk is on endangering socio-cultural, and environmental resources that represent a base for gaining the WH label. So, being guided only by economic impacts of tourism, provokes severe changes to the destination and local community in terms of other dimensions of sustainability, i.e. socio-cultural and natural. As such, residents perceive differently tourism impacts in the line of the broad concept of the three sustainability domains as separate factors.
