Serbia flies Macedonians out of Tunisia

wonder why we still call them Macedonians?
it is well known that they are slavic people like us.

That is a nice thing for Serbia to do. Serbia has a much bigger diplomatic network than Macedonia, as it is a much smaller country.

A similar situation happened in 2006 in Lebanon when Israel invaded, Maltese citizens were able to take refuge in EU embassies as it is their right as EU citizens. I think some agreement should be made to allow Europeans from non-EU countries to take refuge in EU embassies in special circumstances such as the current situation in Tunisia. It is impractical for every country in the world to have an embassy in every country.

Kosovo have something they call embassies although Kosovo is not an own state. I wonder how Kosovo would help in a similar situation? With a donkey or maybe with a "Kosovo-Harley".

They should have sent them to Kosovo.

This is funny. Few weeks ago a Macedonian party leader called on Serbs to get out of Macedonia.

"wonder why we still call them Macedonians?

I believe Macedonians, Serbs, Bosniaks, etc. have some of the blood of the ancient people who lived there before Slavs came. And actually the Slavic connection is more linguistic than genetic. The Slavic migration wasn't very large and mainly to the north. The ancient Macedonians were noted as being a very tall people, as Macedonians are today, and Serbs and Bosnians are tall too. I really believe you both are connected to the ancients who lived in the area, and that it's foreigners who have long sought and diminished that connection to make you seem like long ago "invaders" in the region when in fact you are the descendants of the ancients who lived in the area (plus supplemented with others who came).

Trolling on all b92 articles is still trolling. This article has nothing to do with Kosovo..yet you casted the first insult.

My thoughts on this articles were this, "why does Serbia have a embassy there?" It still is a good gesture to help out a neighbors citizens. Somebody mentioned they should be called Serbs because they're slavic, I disagree, they are a different people from a different socio-cultural nation.

Canadians and American's have a near identical historical background but they are not the same...just like Balkanic slavs; which was migrated 7th cent which is 1400 years ago?? Get real.
