  • Yugoslav Macedonia
    Anticommunist, but Macedonian: Politics of Memory in Post-Yugoslav Macedonia (5,579 words) “The dead heroes of Macedonia, albeit as ghosts, will rise against all of you who will decide to give your support to this harmful plan. Through the destruction of the monuments of the antifascist war, you destroy the present and the future of our country .” 1 In the famous Lieux de mémoire , the French historian Pierre Nora outlines the main forms of a worldwide process identified by him as a ‘global upsurge of memory.’ These involve the critique of the official versions of history and the return to what was hidden away; the search for an obfuscated or ‘confiscated’ past; the cult of ‘roots’ and the development of genealogical investigations; the boom in fervent celebrations and commemorations; legal settlement of past ‘scores’ between different social groups; the growing number of all kinds of museums; the rising need for conservation of archives but also for their opening to the public; and the new attachment to ‘heritage’ ( patrimoine in French).2 It is easy to find many similar symptoms in the contemporary public space of the Republic of Macedonia. Since its independence in 1991, political and academic entrepreneurs have promoted, sometimes with opposite goals, new versions of national history. The cult of millenary roots and the genealogical and ‘ethnogenetical’ (para-)historiographic genres are becoming ever more popular and in some circles at least, the heritage of ancient Macedonia and its famous rulers – Philip and Alexander – is embraced as a token of national pride. 3 In 2003, an impressively long list of commemorations marked the centennial of the anti-Ottoman St.

  • 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.

Situation analysis Description of the disaster In the last week of January, Macedonia was affected by storms with heavy rainfalls and snow in the higher areas. The storms caused serious damages in the eastern part of the country, especially in the Municipality of Karbinci where a few villages were immediately evacuated due to the rise of the water levels of the rivers as well as the artificial lake Kalimanci and Gradche where the dams reached their full capacity. Due to the efforts of the National Coordinative Body, the people were evacuated in the city of Shtip or Radovish, while the cattle were moved to lands on a higher altitude.

  • Watershed, Macedonia
    293 A summary of the environmental and socio-economic characteristics of the Crna Reka (Crna River) watershed, Macedonia Zoran Spirkovski Trajce Talevski Dusica Ilik-Boeva Goce Kostoski Odd Terje Sandlund NINA Publications NINA Report (NINA Rapport) This is a new, electronic series beginning in 2005, which replaces the earlier series NINA commis- sioned reports and NINA project reports. This will be NINA’s usual form of reporting completed re- search, monitoring or review work to clients. In addition, the series will include much of the insti- tute’s other reporting, for example from seminars and conferences, results of internal research and review work and literature studies, etc. NINA report may also be issued in a second language where appropriate. NINA Special Report (NINA Temahefte) As the name suggests, special reports deal with special subjects. Special reports are produced as required and the series ranges widely: from systematic identification keys to information on impor- tant problem areas in society. NINA special reports are usually given a popular scientific form with more weight on illustrations than a NINA report. NINA Factsheet (NINA Fakta) Factsheets have as their goal to make NINA’s research results quickly and easily accessible to the general public. The are sent to the press, civil society organisations, nature management at all lev- els, politicians, and other special interests. Fact sheets give a short presentation of some of our most important research themes. Other publishing In addition to reporting in NINA’s own series, the institute’s employees publish a large proportion of their scientific results in international journals, popular science books and magazines.

  • 1391 Stability of the Yield in Commercial Tobacco Varieties in Republic of Macedonia
    Turkish Journal of Agricultural and Natural Sciences Special Issue: 2, 2014 TÜRK TURKISH TARIM ve DOĞA BİLİMLERİ JOURNAL of AGRICULTURAL DERGİSİ and NATURAL SCIENCES www.turkjans.com Stability of the yield in commercial tobacco varieties in Republic of Macedonia aAna KORUBIN - ALEKSOSKA*, aGordana MICESKA, aBiljana GVEROSKA, aMiroslav DIMITRIESKI, bJane ALEKSOSKI aDepartment of Genetics, Selection and seed control, Scientific Tobacco Institute – Prilep, University “St. Kliment Ohridski” – Bitola, Republic of Macedonia bBispromet – Bitola, Republic of Macedonia *Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract Investigations were carried out with five commercial oriental aromatic tobacco varieties of the type Prilep: P – 23, PV 156/1, NS – 72, P – 66 – 9/7 and P – 79 – 94, to study green mass yield per stalk. The trial was set up in the Experimental field of Tobacco Institute – Prilep in 2010, 2011 and 2012, in randomized block design with four replications. Traditional agricultural practices were applied for realization of the experiment. The aim of investigations was through biometric analysis of the above quantitative trait to evaluate the variability of the commercial varieties, and thus give an assessment of their stability and guidance for their further expansion and maintenance. No significant differences were observed between the three years of investigation, which is an indication that green mass yield per stalk is highly heritable traits and varietal characteristic. Statistical parameters of variability are low, which is an indication of stable and homozygous genotypes, adapted to agro–ecological conditions of the region. Results on the standard deviation and variability coefficient were lower in 2012, because the seed sawn in this crop was obtained from one stalk for each variant isolated in 2010 and again from one stalk isolated in 2011.
