Topic: Serb Church outlawed in Macedonia; priest fights back Posted: 22-Apr-2006 at 13:17 |
It's a date.
A picture of the annual memorial. The caption on this photograph has
since been disproven. 2,000 Muslim men from Visegrad were killed during
the war in total, less than 1,000 actually on the bridge. The death
toll on the bridge also included women - who were forced to dump each
body into the water and executed at the end.
This is where the conflict for me comes. These people need a strong
faith to overcome such a thing, but I don't believe it necessarily has
to be militant or supremicist in style. A soft and comforting faith may
work even better as fundamentalism, by its very nature, prolongs grief
indefinitely in order to fuel itself.

That's the most silly thing: history can't be posessed just narrated. Nobody owns history - everybody can claim it.

Of course history belongs to all humans,but primarily belongs to the nation which involves.That's why we use terms like "Hellenic History" or "History of the Hellens",because it talks about Hellens ,it belongs primarily to the Hellens and secondly to the rest of the world.You cannot become a Hellen if you do not know Hellenic history,the history of the Hellenic civilization.

maju, its like saying that the confederates are really mexicans. Yeah you can narrate it that way, but you also have to debunk such narrations as stories.

It's pretty funny how they are worrying more about Serbs in Macadonia rather than the crisis in Macadonia today.

A wide variety of languages are spoken in the Republic of Macedonia, reflecting its ethnic diversity. The official and most widely spoken language is macedonian. It's closely related to Bulgarian and has some similarites with Serbian. Your question about surnames, I dont really know, I haven't met many Macadonians, sorry. I hope this was helpful.

The surnames suffixes in the Balkans are as follows:
Bulgarian: -ov, e.g. Ivanov
Serbian: -ich, e.g. Perich
Macedonian: -ski, e.g. Sandanski

Ich is actually the Westernized equivalent, BG. A woman
named Dzana Hasanbegovic would be Jana Hasanbegovich
in the United States.
Ic is the most common ending for family names in Croatia,
Bosnia, and Serbia. It's rare in Slovenia and very rare in
Macedonia. But we all have other endings as well. A lot of
Bosniak names end in vowels, etc.
