	Swans Commentary: Macedonia - The Last Act, by Stevan Konstantinovic - skons003
		Macedonia was promised financial aid in return for its role in the NATO war and the damages it suffered during that period — but as it usually goes with such promises from the West, they have mostly remained dead letters.
		Macedonia was faced with a staggering number of Albanian refugees from Kosovo, which further destabilized the precarious situation in the country.
		The border between Macedonia and Kosovo, despite "patrols" by NATO soldiers, was routinely crossed by armed units of the KLA as well as by smugglers carrying everything from weapons and drugs to what were for all intents and purposes human beings sold into slavery.

	Macedonia (09/06)
		Macedonia was the only republic of the former Yugoslavia whose secession in 1991 was not clouded by ethnic or other armed conflict, although the ethnic Albanian population declined to participate in the referendum on independence.
		Macedonia’s economy was hurt especially by a trade embargo imposed by Greece in February 1994 in a dispute over the country's name, flag, and constitution, and by international trade sanctions against Serbia that were not suspended until a month after conclusion of the Dayton Accords.
		For Macedonia to successfully integrate within the global arena, continued efforts to strengthen its multi-ethnic civil society institutions, to develop measures to promote economic growth and investment, and to foster strong indigenous non-governmental organizations are necessary.

	Macedonia (region) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Macedonia is a geographical and historical region of the Balkan peninsula in southeastern Europe whose area was re-defined in the early 20th century.
		The part of Macedonia west and north of the line of partition was contested by both Serbia and Bulgaria and was subject to the arbitration of the Russian Tsar after the war.
		However, the embargo had bad impact on the Republic of Macedonia's economy as the country was cut-off from the port of Thessaloniki and became landlocked because of the UN embargo on Yugoslavia to the north, and the Greek embargo to the south.

	Macedonian Heritage - FAQ
		In Roman times the name Macedonia was used for a much wider area, including Paeonia (but not Dardania), parts of Thrace, Thessaly, and Southern Greece, while in the Byzantine Empire it was completely disassociated from classical Macedonia; it was a division (theme) in Thrace bordering on the Black Sea.
		Riding on the wagon of terminological confusion, historians and linguists from Belgrade and Skopje codified the Slavic dialects in Macedonia as a new Slavic language: the “Macedonian language” (makedonski jazik).
		This was the linguistis’ contribution to assist the new state (the People’s Republic of Macedonia) in moulding a new Slavic nation—the “makedonska natsia”—as a means of severing the Bulgarian connection of the Slav-speakers of Macedonia.

	Macedonia: a Prelude
		It is a nation, an idea, and a state, all at once and all hazardously dependent on a past that is both bloody and ambiguous and a future that looks to be wavering atop a very steep cliff.
		Macedonia is small; it can be traversed from one end to the other in well under a day.
		But in general, Macedonia is locked in a slowly-moving battle of conflicting forces; and all of them have neither the means nor the insight to manipulate the larger situation.
