First of all, we macedonians are not stealing anything. the greeks only look at ancient history from over 2000 years ago to explain the present, but look at more recent history. have you ever heard of the internal MACEDONIAN revolutionary organization? this was long before macedonia became a republic of jugoslavija. the identity of the people in macedonia at the time of the iMro was serbian, bulgarian, greek and vlach yet they all considered themselves macedonians first -i.e Macedonian Serb, Macedonian Bulgarian- and the goal of the iMro was an independent MACEDONIA not annexation, that was the goal of the external organization. so a macedonian consciousness has existed in modern macedonia longer than the greeks make it seem.
My ancestors come from Serbia, yet i am macedonian. like ancient macedonia, modern macedonia was multinational. there were macedonians, illyrians, thracians and paionians in the kingdom of macedonia -which means that alot more than 10% of modern macedonia was part of ancient macedonia, more like 80% once alexander annexed paionia to the kingdom- and throughout history the region of macedonia has had serbs, bulgars, turks, vlachs, greeks, albanians and who knows what else. We Macedonians have different backgrounds, as you have seen on this board from serbian to belarusian. Only the greeks try to make everything pure blooded, and thats why some people replace the cross on the greek flag with a swastika.
also for the serbs, i have not met one Macedonian -and i am in macedonia right now on vacation- that supports or supported recognizing kosovo, but we have our own problems with albanians and we are a weak country with no support from any of our neighbors for anything whatsoever, so what are we supposed to do if our government recognizes kosovo, have a riot? when was the last time serbia rioted for us? BTW i love how all the neo-politicians on here try to make it seem like serbs and macedonians have bad relations with each other, try coming to a country and seeing what it is like before judging it. all summer long here in macedonia at the lakeside town of ohrid at least 85% of the tourists are serbs and every macedonian says they love serbia and knows every turbofolk song and more than half of the Maks in the north and west of macedonia have family in serbia and the rest have friends in serbia. dont let the news tell you what the reality on the ground is. Just because the government was forced to recognize kosovo by the albanian mafia does not mean macedonians and serbs are not close.
