Nevzat Halili declared the "Republic of Ilirida". Here is a fact about Halili, his political party the "Party for Democratic Prosperity" aka PDP won 0.03% of the vote in the 2014 election. I think that says a lot.
(Ian, UK, 19 September 2014 16:49)

And the article even says that this guy is a former leader of that party. I had no idea who he was but I do now after reading this article. Really wonder sometimes what goes in the mind of the B92 editors who choose what to put in these pages. The space taken by this article could have been used for some other article of surely higher value.

Leave Macedonia, go back to that armpit country of yours, and go back to dealing drugs and harvesting organs, the only thing Albanians are apparently good at.

Really? Didn't know that Albanians were that advanced in terms of medical facilities and surgeons.

PS: Just a reminder that Kosovo is Serbia, regardless if that hideous red and black flag is planted in the ground.

With Serbia, they recognized the illegitimate proclamation of independence by Pristina
(Ari Gold, 19 September 2014 18:34)

They recognized the proclamation of independence by Pristina which was in accordance with international law. There is nothing wrong in recognizing something that is in accordance with international law.

With Greece it's even more serious. They don't have a real identity of their own, so they try to take Greek history and culture. I say try, because no sane person believes these people are descendants of Alexander the Great.
(Ari Gold, 19 September 2014 18:34)

Instead of "serious", I would call it laughable that arguments like that are brought by Greece in the 21st century as if anybody cares about Alexander the Great!.

All of this while the Albanians are mounting to fully separate their communities from the Slav Macedonians. This republic b.s is nothing on its own, except a sign for what's coming.

this land was a century ago a part of Serbia and even right before the final advancement of the Ottoman Empire into the Balkans, the city of Skoplje was capital to the short lived Serbian Empire. That is their truth history, not Alexander the Great.

Who is going to pay for this new basket case? Not even the EU is going to touch this one. They are not going to get the same babysitting program that Kosovo is getting. The Albanians really must have the black markets completely under control in Macedonia.

Check any reputable history book, ( Noel Malcolm's: A Short History Of Kosovo ), a century ago Skopje was an Albanian speaking city. Even Trotsky, working as a journalist, said as much when he reported the atrocities taking place against the Albanians by the Serbs. Additionally, Edith Durham confirmed this monstrous act.

Ari, you may try as you might to distort history, but there is too much evidence to the contrary.

Please stop it ! I disapprove Macedonian behavior in the region but please do not mix Alexander here. Those are two different questions.

Otherwise explain how the Greek minority could seize almost the world and where’s the evidence of the fast vaporized Empire ? Today the Greeks compose 0,3% of the mankind and they are divided for 4 different groups. But as I understood only continental Greeks composed the great army. If the Greek share was bigger only 1 part of them composed the army. In Asia they are seeking any evidence of the army but all in vain. No Alexandria towns , no genetic marks … only coins as Leonidas said. But we find their coins all over Russia so what ?

What I mean is if only Alexander and his army ever existed it could be only a Slaw army though Alexander could equally be a Slaw or a Greek. At least Slaws invaded Iran , Afghanistan and India many times and left there a lot of evidence. We can talk about it if you offer any original ( not copy or copy of a copy) ancient document or artifact proving that the Greek or Roman (the one in Italy) Empire had ever existed. Also tell me why there’s no info about Jerusalem of in 1700-1900 ? Tell me how can someone be a mathematic using Greek figures and who was Karl the Great to establish the European civilization ??? Who were his parents , when was he born , where lived and why Austria is still called Oster Reich ? Forget about the General Staff and chose any issue to discuss without panic.

But there is a difference with Kosovo. Declaring/ Proclaiming yourself as independent doesn't mean you're actually independent unless you have the means and capability of making yourself independent. When Kosovo became independent, Kosovo had an overwhelming backing for independence, the "Republic of Ilirida" and them fictional micronations don't. Kosovo already had a government with powers before becoming independent, Kosovo was capable of establishing new ministries such as foreign affairs and defence; the "Republic of Ilirida" cannot establish such ministries. UNMIK handed over its governing powers to the Kosovo Assembly and the International Steering Group supervised Kosovo's independence before it handed over its powers to the Kosovo Assembly in September 2012; the so-called "Republic of Ilirida" won't have and doesn't have the capability to have the independent powers which Kosovo has. The so-called "Republic of Ilirida" doesn't have the capability of establishing diplomatic relations with other countries, joining international organisations, or having representation on the world stage unlike Kosovo. This so-called "Republic of Ilirida" is a bad joke.

I am sorry !

I just looked through the title "Republic of Ilirida" declared in Macedonia” and I misunderstood it as if they refused from FYORM or Macedonia name ... But now that I looked through the article I still can see some basis for optimism. FYORM is one of the US Troy Horses in the region. Once they have missed a chance to stick the Serbs against the Albanians. Very soon they needed help that Serbs could render. And now I can see no Balkan country to help them while the US is too far and too busy in the two starting wars against Russia and against their own ISIS bandits.

Albanians are a comparatively big regional destructive power to threaten their neighbors. To my mind it must push the local states cooperate in safety issues. But it does not happen. Say Macedonia conflicts all the neighbors so the Albanians can afford undermining one country after another. They are Albanians no matter what passports they have in their pockets for the time being.

Anyways I am sorry for my early congrats !

I think the Macedonian diaspora are still fighting the old fights from the time they left the country - from before it was attacked by Albanians in the 2001 war. So that's why so many of them are still focused against Serbia and Greece. They left at a time propaganda was sponsored against Serbia to gear them up for "independence." And they are still in that phase and are ignoring the on-the-ground problems and threats by the Albanians.

The Slav Macedonian elite has since the fall of Yugoslavia maintained a very hostile relationship towards both Serbia and Greece. With Serbia, they recognized the illegitimate proclamation of independence by Pristina, and continue to harass and even arrest members of the Serbian Orthodox Church on false charges. With Greece it's even more serious. They don't have a real identity of their own, so they try to take Greek history and culture.

I believe if they don't use their democratic right to vote in a referendum to join Serbia, they will soon have to start learning Albanian because the Albs are not playing!!!

So what? Every self-proclaimed group of idiots has the right to declare themselves independent. Remember, the ICJ ruled that way in case of Kosovo. You have some more of these fanatsy states alla round the world, for example "Freetown Christiania" in Denmark, the "Principality of Hutt River" in Australia, and some dozens more.

The war that began in the name of national unification of Albanians into a single state has lost its mission and ended up as an uprising for respect of human rights. It's called treason because no Albanian would pick up a rifle for the sake of human rights. Albanians struggle for freedom and national unification with the motherland, Albania," said Sinani.

When Kosovo became independent, Kosovo had an overwhelming backing for independence, the "Republic of Ilirida" and them fictional micronations don't. Kosovo already had a government with powers before becoming independent, Kosovo was capable of establishing new ministries such as foreign affairs and defence; the "Republic of Ilirida" cannot establish such ministries. UNMIK handed over its governing powers to the Kosovo Assembly and the International Steering Group supervised Kosovo's independence before it handed over its powers to the Kosovo Assembly in September 2012; the so-called "Republic of Ilirida" won't have and doesn't have the capability to have the independent powers which Kosovo has. The so-called "Republic of Ilirida" doesn't have the capability of establishing diplomatic relations with other countries, joining international organisations, or having representation on the world stage unlike Kosovo. This so-called "Republic of Ilirida" is a bad joke.

Please stop it ! I disapprove Macedonian behavior in the region but please do not mix Alexander here. Those are two different questions.

Otherwise explain how the Greek minority could seize almost the world and where’s the evidence of the fast vaporized Empire ? Today the Greeks compose 0,3% of the mankind and they are divided for 4 different groups. But as I understood only continental Greeks composed the great army. If the Greek share was bigger only 1 part of them composed the army. In Asia they are seeking any evidence of the army but all in vain. No Alexandria towns , no genetic marks … only coins as Leonidas said. But we find their coins all over Russia so what ?

What I mean is if only Alexander and his army ever existed it could be only a Slaw army though Alexander could equally be a Slaw or a Greek. At least Slaws invaded Iran , Afghanistan and India many times and left there a lot of evidence. We can talk about it if you offer any original ( not copy or copy of a copy) ancient document or artifact proving that the Greek or Roman (the one in Italy) Empire had ever existed. Also tell me why there’s no info about Jerusalem of in 1700-1900 ? Tell me how can someone be a mathematic using Greek figures and who was Karl the Great to establish the European civilization ??? Who were his parents , when was he born , where lived and why Austria is still called Oster Reich ? Forget about the General Staff and chose any issue to discuss without panic.

"Nevzat Halili declared the "Republic of Ilirida". Here is a fact about Halili, his political party the "Party for Democratic Prosperity" aka PDP won 0.03% of the vote in the 2014 election. I think that says a lot."

So what? Every self-proclaimed group of idiots has the right to declare themselves independent. Remember, the ICJ ruled that way in case of Kosovo. You have some more of these fanatsy states alla round the world, for example "Freetown Christiania" in Denmark, the "Principality of Hutt River" in Australia, and some dozens more.

I am sorry !

I just looked through the title "Republic of Ilirida" declared in Macedonia” and I misunderstood it as if they refused from FYORM or Macedonia name ... But now that I looked through the article I still can see some basis for optimism. FYORM is one of the US Troy Horses in the region. Once they have missed a chance to stick the Serbs against the Albanians. Very soon they needed help that Serbs could render. And now I can see no Balkan country to help them while the US is too far and too busy in the two starting wars against Russia and against their own ISIS bandits.

Albanians are a comparatively big regional destructive power to threaten their neighbors. To my mind it must push the local states cooperate in safety issues. But it does not happen. Say Macedonia conflicts all the neighbors so the Albanians can afford undermining one country after another. They are Albanians no matter what passports they have in their pockets for the time being.

Anyways I am sorry for my early congrats !

Who is going to pay for this new basket case? Not even the EU is going to touch this one. They are not going to get the same babysitting program that Kosovo is getting. The Albanians really must have the black markets completely under control in Macedonia.

I think the Macedonian diaspora are still fighting the old fights from the time they left the country - from before it was attacked by Albanians in the 2001 war. So that's why so many of them are still focused against Serbia and Greece. They left at a time propaganda was sponsored against Serbia to gear them up for "independence." And they are still in that phase and are ignoring the on-the-ground problems and threats by the Albanians.
