Forging a Future Europe Forging a Future Europe March 11, 2016 Macedonia: At Brussels By Vanessa Nedd, Tamia Daniel, Nina Barber, Nisa Holley, Aajia Hall, Jalen Powell Introduction Macedonia is a small country made up of 9,928 miles that is relatively mountainous, forested, and rises only 2,000 meters above sea level. It is inhibited by descendants of Slavic and orthodox Christianity, 500 years of being apart of the ottoman empire has resulted in distinguished ethnic groups like Albanians, Turks, Vlachs, and Roma; or Gypsies. A national language was not established until 1946, it is related to Bulgarian and Serbo­Croatian and written in Cyrillic script. Migrants who have become inhabitants have all settled into diverse patterns; highlands are shepherds, while fertile areas are practicing market oriented agriculture. Along with diverse settling patterns, the daily lives of inhabitants are influenced by the Turks. Population distribution is a continuous problem in Macedonia, the government constantly has to deal with issues of migration. The government has it’s own issues as well, with the relationship of the citizens. There was a wiretapping scandal that influenced the security and the government overall. Along with all these issues the government needs to maintain strong foreign relations and wants join the EU. With joining the EU, there will be mandatory name change and policy adaptations such as NATO. They want to remain independent while also keeping its name. Macedonia is one of the successor states of the former Yugoslavia, from which it ​ ​ ​ ​ declared independence in 1991. It became a member of the United Nations in 1993, but, as a ​ ​ result of an ongoing dispute with Greece, over use of the name Macedonia, it was admitted under ​ ​ the provisional description of "the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia.” Meanwhile, Russia is trying to expand its reach over the Baltic states by providing economic means like a pipeline which would help pay off some of Macedonia’s debts. But the United States and other EU members don’t want any of this; the United States tried to maintain its dominance over such Baltic states. Right now there is a power struggle between the United States and Russia over Baltic states and even though Macedonia would like to join the EU and other organizations; Macedonia doesn’t like the United States and Russia is providing good reason not to join. Macedonia remained the poorest of the Yugoslav republics and was included throughout the communist period in the list of regions that merited economic aid from wealthier parts of the federation. While this status undoubtedly brought much investment, several projects were placed without adequate attention to the supply of materials or access to markets. In the mid­1990s, however, Macedonia had begun to find new trading partners, and the economy began to prosper. Though gross domestic product (GDP) dipped at the turn of the 21st century, it rebounded quickly, and the country weathered the worldwide economic downturn that began in 2008 better than many other countries. Manufacturing constituted less than one­fifth of GDP in Macedonia in the early 21st century and accounted for between one­tenth and one­fifth of employment. Because of the presence of mineral resources such as nickel, lead, and zinc in Macedonia, ferrous and nonferrous metallurgy have long been linchpins of the country’s manufacturing sector. Among the principal products associated with this industry are ferronickel, flat­rolled sheet steel, and seamed pipes. Automobile parts, electrical equipment, household appliances, and clothing are also produced, and there are wood­ and plastic­processing industries. Key Points ● Remaining independent and keeping its name­ There has constantly been a shift in the ​ control of macedonia until 1991 when it declared independent; Macedonia would like to Macedonia at Brussels 2 remain independent. Also Greece struggles with accepting the name of our country's name and we do not want to change our name to satisfy their needs. ● Using NATO and growing global allies : Macedonia is trying to ensure better security ​ by the usage of the NATO system and working with the U.S and EU. They want to have a smaller more effective military, even with general threat of terrorism in Macedonia. ● Unity between ethnic groups ­ Macedonia has been experiencing tension among the ​ different ethnic groups for competing power and rights. Our country’s goal is to establish a more united Macedonia that is not driven by political / ethnic divide but by common nationalist views. ● Macedonia alliance with russia­ Macedonia is working with Russia on an energy ​ pipeline that would provide revenue to to both nations. The United States doesn’t like the relationship between the two as the United States tries to keep its power and states that the transatlantic relations are still strong. But current intervention would suggest the United States government is trying to overthrow the current government in Macedonia. ● Keeping the Border closed: Macedonia is only 9,928 miles a small country who is ​ incapable of handling and adjusting to the amount of immigrants coming in to seek aid. Macedonia doesn’t have enough defense or security to secure its borders, which is why we use the help of Greece. ● Controlling bribery corruption: Corruption between the government and citizens have ​ ​ ​ gotten so bad that people indulge in bribery at least twice a year minimum for things like healthcare, education, legal documents, and travel. ● Lack of diplomacy­ Because Macedonia is independent but “weak” it is hard to get ​ legislation passed that is meant to protect the country from harm. Without the support of the EU, Macedonia’s diplomatic abilities are limited. ● Preventing unwanted migration­ Macedonia is accessible from several angles which ​ makes it hard for Macedonia to control who can enter. There is already an opposition to interethnic communities. Macedonia at Brussels 3 Background Macedonia was formally known as the Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia until September 8, 1991. Macedonia applied to join the European Union in the spring of 2004 and shortly after in 2005, was granted candidate country status. It has made solid economic progress in the last few ​ years and appears to be an ideal candidate for accession to the EU. But a corruption scandal, as well as an ongoing name dispute with Greece, is threatening to derail its development. Greece ​ has consistently blocked the country’s progress towards both NATO and the EU because it views the use of ‘Macedonia’ as an insult. The northern region of Greece is known by the same name, implying a territorial threat, and many Greeks do not accept the country to the north as a nation­state. As a result, an awkward compromise was reached in the 1990s to call the country the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia which macedonia does not like. Also, Macedonia was accused of the phone tapping of up to 20,000 people, including more than 100 journalists. This diminished their integrity and lowered their chances of be accepted into the EU. Although Macedonia was caught wiretapping, Macedonia has great potential and can provide great resources to the EU. Macedonia is comprised of various ethnic groups and cultures including macedonians, albanians, turks, and other small ethnic groups like the serbs and the romani. Unlike many of its neighboring states Macedonia reluctantly avoided much of the violent war that was experienced elsewhere. The were perceived as an example to the other states the were experiencing violent conflict. While Macedonia’s transition was more peaceful the neighboring countries, Macedonia is far from perfect. The range in cultural diversity has prevented Macedonia from establishing its a single nationality. The Macedonian government was accused of running a hegemony in which the macedonian ethnicity greatly benefited from; this has prevented macedonia from being able to be united, even economically. The ethnic conflict that Macedonia is existing is primarily due to the power struggle between macedonians and less represented ethnic groups in Macedonia. After a small,yet violent civil war in 2001, Macedonia established a policy the was created to Macedonia at Brussels 4 ensure that smaller ethnic groups are given the opportunity to share political power with the macedonians. Presently Macedonia is improving. Success has been illustrated in its ability to recognised that fact that there is a problem and taken the necessary steps to solve it. One of the ways macedonia has succeeded is by power sharing and political compromising to meet the needs of all citizens. None the more there is still more improvements that need to be implemented to establish a more united Macedonia. Macedonia is officially the Republic of Macedonia and is a country located in the central Balkan peninsula in Southeast Europe. It is one of the successor states of the former Yugoslavia, ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ from which it declared independence in 1991. It became a member of the United Nations in ​ ​ 1993, but, as a result of an ongoing dispute with Greece over use of the name Macedonia, it was ​ ​ admitted under the provisional description of "the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia.” The dispute has escalated to the highest level of international mediation, involving numerous attempts to achieve a resolution. Until a solution is found, the provisional reference "the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia." However, most UN member countries have abandoned the provisional reference and have recognised the country as the Republic of Macedonia instead. The major interest of the country is a full integration in the European and the Trans­Atlantic ​ integration processes. Five foreign policy priorities are: C​ ommencing negotiations for ​ full­fledged membership in the European Union, Lifting the visa regime for Macedonian ​ ​ nationals, NATO membership, Resolving the naming issue with Greece, Strengthening the economic and public diplomacy. This has led to involvement with Russia and intervention with ​ ​ America.

  • The Making of Yugoslavia's People's Republic of Macedonia 377 Ward the Central Committee of the Yugoslav Communist Party Hardened
    THE MAKING OF YUGOSLAVIA’S PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC OF MACEDONIA Fifty years since the liberation of Macedonia, the perennial "Ma­ cedonian Question” appears to remain alive. While in Greece it has deF­ initely been settled, the establishment of a "Macedonian State” within the framework of the People’s Federal Republic of Yugoslavia has given a new form to the old controversy which has long divided the three Balkan States, particularly Yugoslavia and Bulgaria. The present study tries to recount the events which led to its founding, the purposes which prompted its establishment and the methods employed in bringing about the tasks for which it was conceived. The region of Southern Yugoslavia,' which extends south of a line traversed by the Shar Mountains and the hills just north of Skopje, has been known in the past under a variety of names, each one clearly denoting the owner and his policy concerning the region.3 The Turks considered it an integral part of their Ottoman Empire; the Serbs, who succeeded them, promptly incorporated it into their Kingdom of Serbs and Croats and viewed it as a purely Serbian land; the Bulgarians, who seized it during the Nazi occupation of the Balkans, grasped the long-sought opportunity to extend their administrative control and labeled it part of the Bulgarian Father- land. As of 1944, the region, which reverted to Yugoslavia, has been known as the People’s Republic of Macedonia, one of the six federative republics of communist Yugoslavia. The new name and administrative structure, exactly as the previous ones, was intended for the purpose of serving the aims of the new re­ gime.

  • Macedonia External Relations Briefing
    ISSN: 2560-1601 Vol. 6, No. 4 (MK) April 2018 Macedonia External Relations briefing: Macedonia’s Foreign Policy in 2018 Anastas Vangeli 1052 Budapest Petőfi Sándor utca 11. +36 1 5858 690 Kiadó: Kína-KKE Intézet Nonprofit Kft. [email protected] Szerkesztésért felelős személy: Chen Xin Kiadásért felelős személy: Huang Ping china-cee.eu Past and Present Attempts to Solve the Name Dispute Between Macedonia and Greece Introduction The key reason for the emergence of the asymmetrical name dispute is the fact that Greece treats the existence of Macedonia (a state that uses the name Macedonia and develops the concept of a non-Greek Macedonian nation, ethnicity, language, and culture) as a threat. Taking as pretext the turbulent history of the 20th century, Greece’s major objection has been that the Macedonian state is founded on a notion of irredentism. Therefore, Greece has used its leverage on the international stage, as a member of the EU, NATO and in general an established diplomatic tradition to make a change of the name of Macedonia a precondition for joining international organizations. The two parties have negotiated a possible solution under the auspices of the United Nations for almost quarter of a century. In the process they have come up with various solutions, both in terms of the legal circumstances, and the actual content of the name. In this brief, we analyze the various debates and the emergence of positions on the name issue, as well as some of the solutions that have been proposed throughout the years. Greece’s Position and Demands Starting from the premise that any usage of the term “Macedonia” to describe a non-Greek political entity is a threat towards Greece, the maximalist Greek position is that the new name of Macedonia should not contain the word “Macedonia” at all.

  • North Macedonia: 'New' Country Facing Old Problems
    North Macedonia: ‘New’ country facing old problems A research on the name change of the Republic of North Macedonia Willem Posthumus – s4606027 Master Thesis Human Geography - Conflicts, Territories and Identities Nijmegen School of Management Radboud University Nijmegen Supervisor Henk van Houtum October 2019 36.989 words Once, from eastern ocean to western ocean, the land stretched away without names. Nameless headlands split the surf; nameless lakes reflected nameless mountains; and nameless rivers flowed through nameless valleys into nameless bays. G. R. Stewart, 1945, p. 3 2 I Preface After a bit more than a year, I can hereby present my master’s thesis. It’s about a name. Around 100 pages about a name: I could not have thought it would be such an extensive topic. Last year I had heard about Macedonia, or the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, as it was often called. I didn’t know it that well, just that it used to be part of Yugoslavia, obviously. An item in the news, however, triggered my interest: the country was about to change its name to North Macedonia. ‘Why?’ I thought. I didn’t know about the name dispute, but the more I read about it, the more I wanted to know. When I had to choose a subject for my master’s thesis, I knew I would look at this name change. A year later, I think I understand the name change and the dispute better. Still, the topic is more complicated than I thought. Understanding everything there is about it would probably take a lot more time.

  • National Myths in Interdependence
    National Myths in Interdependence: The Narratives of the Ancient Past among Macedonians and Albanians in the Republic of Macedonia after 1991 By Matvey Lomonosov Submitted to Central European University Nationalism Studies Program In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts CEU eTD Collection Advisor: Professor Maria Kovács Budapest, Hungary 2012 Abstract The scholarship on national mythology primarily focuses on the construction of historical narratives within separate “nations,” and oftentimes presents the particular national ist elites as single authors and undisputable controllers of mythological versions of the past. However, the authorship and authority of the dominant national ist elites in designing particular narratives of the communal history is limited. The national past, at least in non- totalitarian societies, is widely negotiated, and its interpretation is always heteroglot . The particular narratives that come out of the dominant elites’ “think-tanks” get into a polyphonic discursive milieu discussing the past. Thus they become addressed to alternative narratives, agree with them, deny them or reinterpret them. The existence of those “other” narratives as well as the others’ authorship constitutes a specific factor in shaping mythopoeic activities of dominant political and intellectual national elites. Then, achieving personal or “national” goals by nationalists usually means doing so at the expense or in relations to the others. If in this confrontation the rivals use historical myths, the evolution of the later will depend on mutual responses. Thus national historical myths are constructed in dialogue, contain voices of the others, and have “other” “authors” from within and from without the nation in addition to “own” dominant national ist elite.

  • Greater Albania – the Next Crisis in the Balkans?
    School of Social Science Department of Peace and Development Studies Master Thesis Spring 2009 Greater Albania – The Next Crisis in the Balkans? Author: Mimoza Ardolic Tutor: Manuela Knapp ABSTRACT University of Växjö, School of Social Sciences, Department of Peace and Development Studies Master Thesis Title: Greater Albania – The Next Crisis in the Balkans? Author: Mimoza Ardolic Tutor: Manuela Knapp Date: 2009-06-08 The Balkans has suffered from quite a few problems as a result of the countless ambitious endeavors for great states of the ethnic groups residing in the peninsula. The most recent great state idea to have caused troubles in the region is the Serbs’ Great Serbia (i.e. Yugoslvia), which caused a cycle of wars, the latest one being the war in Kosovo in the late 1990s. This thesis attempts to evaluate the rumors of yet another great state in the making – or rather awakening again: the attempt at a Greater Albania, and whether the Albanians in the Balkans are still harboring the idea of any such state. Particular emphasis is placed upon the following questions: Where does the idea of a Greater Albania stem from? Is a Greater Albania today still on the Albanians’ agenda as a real political plan? What speaks for and against a Greater Albania? Is the idea even feasible? The findings indicate that none of the Albanian communities residing in the Balkan region wish for a Greater Albania, nor do their leaders. The Serbs nonetheless maintain that an Albanian threat exists and has done so ever since 1878 when the idea of a Greater Albania first arose.

  • The Impact of the Macedonian Question on Civil Conflict in Greece (1943 - 1949)
    THE IMPACT OF THE MACEDONIAN QUESTION ON CIVIL CONFLICT IN GREECE (1943 - 1949) Hardly one single issue had such diverse and long-standing repercussions on the inception, plan- ning, conduct and perceptions of the Greek Civil War as the Macedonian question. Imbued with the legacy of 19th century conflicting national visions and inter-war destabilizing revisionist schemes, it found itself in the wartime whirlpool of revolutionary change, activating forces — and passions — that were to affect developments in three Balkan states1. An examination of the impact of the Macedonian question on the Greek Civil War can hardly be restricted to the years 1946-1949. Its ramifications in internal Greek conflicts were discernible even in the early phases of the Occupation and throughout the Resistance, continued unabated to Decem- ber 1944 and, despite the Varkiza settlement, remained active during the interlude of 1945-19462. Perceptions and realities in Macedonian affairs rarely coincide. Contemporaries suffered much by lack of dependable information on the aims and policies of adversaries and allies alike. Pre-conceived notions frequently substituted for intelligent analyses. As a result, deep-rooted fears and suspicions persisted and created a permanent sense of insecurity, which was further fanned by psychological warfare operatives, tempering with a sensitive national issue for political ends. Meanwhile, dogmatic approaches to rapidly changing situations blurred the vision of leaders and disoriented public opi- nion. In the end, actors on the Macedonian stage found themselves performing in a theater of the absurd. During the occupation, civil strife in Greek Macedonia between resistance groups was not limited to a contest for post-war political predominance.
