I want to say BIG thanks to our loyal and lovely fans, true Macedonians fans are Bulgarians and Greeks. They are everywhere on Macedonian pages, you tube, social networks, etc. When they hear and see something related to Macedonians and Macedonia, they can't sleep because of happiness, right away they write that they are Macedonians too, but in a slightly different way they like to be Macedonians so they say you are Greeks you are Bulgarians 😄 they have supported us since the 1913 Treaty of Bucharest until today. Thank you to the real and true fans of Macedonia and MACEDONIANS.MACEDONIA TIMELESS!!!
Don't listen to this troll. He is Niko Ivanov from Dupnica Bulgaria , using my nickname and pfp as impersonalization. The only difference is he can't copy my tag since I've already taken it and I have 1 number less and one letter more. Plus his profile is from 2016 while mine is from 2020. Typical Eastern Bulgarian a.k.a. Tatarska 😊

Greetings from San Juan Puerto Rico. It seems that the name of the country is quite an issue with some people. I want to go to the country that is represented in this video. lol. I thoroughly enjoyed viewing your very informative video. You did an excellent job, bravo. The young lady is pretty, knowledgeable and smart. If and when i visit i will use her as my guide. This video has piqued my interest in visiting and experiencing its rich diversity, it seems to be a melting pot of diverse cultures. To all the nay sayers, if you don't like the video, then just change the channel - it's that simple. 😊
It is an issue! It is like the language of Macedonia...that was ancient Greek (like the Athenian, cypriot, the Spartan language e.t.c.), like Alexander's name but now ....the slavic language is called macedonian!)))! So NATO has managed to create a lie but OK! No hard feelings for the Greeks of North Macedonia!)) It is a folklor country!
Greeks cannot understand that when they type name Macedonia on RU-vid, they get videos about the Republic of Macedonia. And when they type Macedonia Greece, they get videos about the Republic of Macedonia again. They better type Ethiopia to learn something about their roots 😂
Good point the name of the country must be albanoslavia or slavalbania to depict the ethic composition of the country not to confuse it with the Greek region of Macedonia
NORTH MACEDONIA is fine. The problem is its inhabitants who refuse to call their country with its proper name and deceive themselves by thinking that Alexander the Great was a Slav like them. Alexander the Great spoke Greek. Do the inhabitants of NORTH MACEDONIA speak Greek or a Slavic language? @@dggmn2109
The young lady does a very nice job of explaining things. I hope to visit there soon and may even find a distant relative there. My grandfather’s one brother moved there a hundred years ago after the Greeks occupied Aegean Macedonia.
An honest video about Skopje with a really fun and positive hostess! There is a lot more to be said but the video should last 24 hours just about Skopje. There are many other beautiful cities in Macedonia rich in natural beauty and history so maybe in the near future you should cover that. Keep up the good work!
The Greeks say Macedonia is Greek.Bulgarians say Macedonia is Bulgarian and Serbs that Macedonia is Serbian. This doesn't make any sense. Well, these occupiers divided Macedonia in 1913.
Ancient kingdom of macedonia is greek like ancient Sparta and Athens for example. The slavs came to the balkans at 900AD while Alexander the great lived in 300BCE and participated in the olympics where only greeks were allowed to participate... What else do you want?
@@tatjanavelkova5814 MACEDONIJA? What has even this language to do with Macedonia and Alexander the great?! Macedonians spoke ancient greek dialect and this is proven, see you cant roast me. Lol!

No, it's not like politics. With the name change is changed the identity of Macedonians. Don't be so naive. No Country in the world have problems with neighbours, as Macedonia do.

11:31The Macedonian flag is a sun in memory of the Argead dynasty, to which Alexander belonged and whose symbol was the Vergina Sun, also called the Argead Star.
Good point but why the slavs and the albanians inhabiting the country want to use the symbols of the Greeks is beyond me. The inhabitants of the country have no clue what Alexander or Philip or Macedonia even means but they love them !!!!!!
This is a land filled with people who the world knows as Macedonians, regardless of this week’s or next week’s forced name change. Only Greeks and Bulgarians have an issue with this.
IF SKOPIA WAS LOCATED FAR AWAY IT WOULDN'T BE A PROBLEM TO BE CALLED PLAIN MACEDONIA THERE ARE MANY CITIES IN THE WORLD WITH GREEK NAMES BUT THEY ARE NOT NEXT DOOR THAT IS THE PROBLEM.

Calling North Macedonia just Macedonia is meaningless because there is no country with the name Macedonia. In the same way there is no country with the name Africa. It is meaningless to call South Africa just Africa. South Africans NEVER call their country Africa because it is meaningless.@@spyridonnotidis3392
It is not true that only Greeks and Bulgarians have an issue with the name Macedonia. The name of the country is NORTH MACEDONIA to distinguish it from the region of Greece called Macedonia. The inhabitants of North Macedonia are Slavs. Alexander the Great was Greek. He spoke Greek. Do the inhabitants of NORTH MACEDONIA speak Greek?
Some people from Greece and Bulgaria, all your ethnocidal governments have been making the same mistake for decades and decades (since the massacres of Macedonians in the occupied Aegean, Pirin...) and it is incredible that for us Macedonians, someone still believes that we can be something other than Macedonians.
There is no ethnocide in Pirin Makedonia . Indeed VMRO was a state within the state in Pirin between 1918-1934, and in 1925 it was the VMRO units, who took up arms to defent the state of Bjlgaria against military provocation of Greece against Bulgarian sovereignty in the Petrich region . And in 1907 VMRO passes the death sentence on Iane Sandanski ! Whose name do you celebrate - Sandanski who murdered 2 of the 3 representatives of the foreign representation of VMRO in Sofia, or VMRO leaders themselves . In 1908 VMRO leadership authorised their voivoda Tane Nikolov to execute the death sentence against Sandanski , which was carried out in Solun , however, Sandanski was wounded, but 2 of his bodyguards were killed, and Tane Nikolov escaped capture.

Because that is what the people in THAT country call their homeland! Just as I, and all my fellow citizens call where we live America. Some people in Europe might want to call their country America also. That’s okay! We won’t object. It doesn’t mean we will take it over by force, even though the European country uses the same name.
Could you be a little more specific about what you actually want to say? Because this looks like a childish comment. If those people want to call their homeland that. blah blah blah.... That's what we call ourselves for centuries. This is Macedonia for centuries. We are like Indians in America. It's just that they are stealing our land and the Bulgarian-Tatars want to assimilate us and are stealing our land. We are something as European Palestinians.

@@DiscoverWithOS The country's name is North Macedonia. This is their constitutional name and the name under which the country is internationally recognised. It is even in Google and Wikipedia. You should have done your research and know which country you were in regardless what any tour guide would have you say.
@@DiscoverWithOS Well done but be careful, to be fair is not your fault but is the fault of the international community that pushed Greece to recognise the country with a geographical name and not an ethically one like slavalbania hence the confusion with the Macedonians/Macedonia, a Greek tribe/Greek region, and the Slavs and Albanians that live in a minor part of geographical Macedonia that is not part of Greece.
Calling North Macedonia just Macedonia is meaningless because there is no country with the name Macedonia. In the same way there is no country with the name Africa. It is meaningless to call South Africa just Africa. South Africans NEVER call their country Africa because it is meaningless.

I find lots of similarities with Indian culture, traditions and even in music. Probably because Greeks came and stayed on even after Alexander the Great left.
There are no Greeks in this country and the people living in this country have no relationship with the Greeks who came and stayed in Asia. These people are Slavs who came to the region at around the 7th and 8th centuries AD, which is almost 1000 years after Alexander the Great.
