Wydaje się, że Macedonia istnieje, ale nie ma co do tego stuprocentowej pewności, a już na pewno zgody. Grecy zdecydowanie twierdzą, że Macedonia owszem, istnieje, ale w Grecji. Na północ od greckiej Macedonii znajduje się natomiast Macedonia Północna. I jest to duży postęp, bo do niedawna uznawali tylko istnienie państwa oznaczonego tajemniczym akronimem FYROM. Mija właśnie 6 lat, odkąd Macedonia zmieniła nazwę, w zamian za co Grecy otworzyli jej szeroko drzwi do NATO i UE. O ile przestapienie progu Sojuszu Północnoatlantyckiego poszło sprawnie, to drogę do wspólnoty zagrodzili niespodziewanie Bułgarzy, którzy są przekonani nie tyle o nieistnieniu Macedonii, ale raczej Macedończyków, którzy są według nich Bułgarami Zachodnimi.Jeszcze radykalniej podchodzą do sprawy Albańczycy, którzy wprawdzie są skłonni uznać istnienie kraju, ale w określonych ramach czasowych. Ramy te powinny wkrótce się domknąć, a wtedy miejsce małej Macedonii zajmie Wielka Albania. Przynajmniej jeśli wierzyć antyalbańskim teoriom spiskowym. Dla porządku należy dodać, że na istnienie Macedonii kręcą nosem również Serbowie, ale tym akurat mało kto się przejmuje.W dzisiejszym odcinku spróbujemy odpowiedzieć na tytułowe pytanie, zwiedzając kolorowe i grające Skopje, oraz badając żywoty świętych w Ochrydzie, zanurzając się też w brudnych wodach polityki realizowanej nad czystym jeziorem Prespa.⭕️ ZOSTAŃ NASZYM PATRONEM:https://patronite.pl/dobrapodroz⭕️ LUB POSTAW KAWUSIĘ:https://buycoffee.to/dobrapodroz⭕️ YouTube:Subskrybuj nasz kanał:http://bit.ly/subskrybuj_dobrapodroz⭕️Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/dobra_podroz/

Es gibt Dinge, über die kommt man einfach nicht hinweg. Zum Beispiel die Tatsache, dass ein kleines Land im Süden des Balkans den coolsten Namen, den ein Land je hatte, gegen die schnöde Bezeichnung NORD-Mazedonien eintauschen musste. Acht Jahre liegt die Bunte Revolution gegen den Möchtegern-Autokraten Nikola Gruevski nun zurück. Doch von den vielen Hoffnungen, die mit der großen Demokratiebewegung im kleinen Mazedonien einhergingen, haben sich die wenigsten erfüllt. Innenpolitisch aber vor allem auch außenpolitisch - dank einiger EU-Staaten, die nichts besseres zu tun haben, als sich in Südosteuropa wie Schulhof-Bullys aufzuführen. Krsto und Danijel ziehen in dieser Episode Bilanz und zeigen auf, was alles schiefgelaufen ist. Unterstützung erhalten sie dabei von Boris Georgievski von der Deutschen Welle. Nebenbei erfahrt Ihr, was Anna Lena Baerbock auf dem Balkan so treibt, warum in Belgrad (und nur dort) neu gewählt wird, und wieso vielleicht drei Albaner die beste Lösung für Bosnien sein könnten.

Šoreiz raidījumā Diplomātiskās pusdienas aplūkojam Ziemeļmaķedonijas Republiku, valsti, kas atrodas tepat Eiropā, Rietumbalkānos. Nedaudz mazāk nekā divu miljonu nelielā valsts izveidojās 1991. gadā pēc Dienvidslāvijas sabrukuma. Vienlaicīgi Ziemeļmaķedonijas teritorija tiek uzskatīta par vienu no vissenāk nepārtraukti apdzīvotajiem reģioniem Eiropā. Mūsdienu Ziemeļmaķedonijas teritorija ir bijusi vairāku – tostarp gan Maķedonijas Aleksandra, gan Romas impērijas, gan Osmaņu impērijas sastāvā. Kā politiska vienība ar nosaukumu  Maķedonijas Tautas Republika tā tika izveidota 1946. gadā, kad tā ietilpa Dienvidslāvijas Sociālistiskās Federatīvās Republikas sastāvā. Ar nosaukumu Bijusī Dienvidslāvijas Republika Maķedonija, valsts 1993. gadā tika uzņemta ANO. Valstī ir virkne UNESCO sarakstos iekļautu un neiekļautu kultūras mantojuma objektu. Vispirms jau Ohrida ezers, kurš skaitās viens no pasaulē vecākajiem un dziļākajiem ezeriem. Ezera vecums ir vairāk nekā cetri miljoni gadu. Un dziļums šobrīd 277 metri. Ņemot vērā, ka vairāk nekā 80 procenti Ziemeļmaķedonijas teritorijas ir kalni, šis pat neizbrīna. Par kalniem runājot – Ziemeļmaķedonijā Matkas kanjonā atrodama Vrelo zemūdens ala. Tā ir viena no pasaulē dziļākajām alām, ja ne pati dziļākā, bet neviens nezina tās patieso dziļumu. Izpētīti ir tikai 77 metri. Savukārt Kokino ir atrodama viena no senākajām astronomiskajām observatorijām pasaulē. Tās vecums ir apmēram 4000 gadu un tā ir vienā ierindojama vienā zinātnes vēstures stāstījumā līdzās Ēģiptē atrodamajai Abu Simbel, Anglijā atrodamajai Stonhendžai un Kambodžā atrodamajai Angkor Vat. Vēl viens interesants fakts par Ziemeļmaķedonijas Republiku – šajā pareizticīgo valstī ir vairāk nekā 1000 baznīcas. Un divas lietas – trijās no tām ir atrodamas daļas no Jēzus krusta, un trešā daļa no tām atrodas vienā pilsētā. Ohridas pilsētā ir 365 baznīcas. Daudzas no tām ir pamestas, bet tas netraucē pieņemt, ka šī varētu būt vieta, kur pasaulē ir visblīvākā baznīcu pārstāvība. Katru dienu gadā var iet uz citu baznīcu. Stāstot par Ziemeļmaķedonijas Republiku, noteikti ir jārunā par vienu no īpatnējākajiem starpvalstu incidentiem pasaules vēsturē. Vietu nosaukumu strīdi nav nekas pārāk nepieredzēts, pat situācijās, ja runa ir par valstu nosaukumiem. Bet parasti nosaukumu maiņas neizraisa tādus diplomātiskos strīdus, kā notika Maķedonijas Republikas un Grieķijas gadījumā. ANO jaunizveidotā slāvu cilšu pēcteču izcelsmes maķedoniešu valsts tika reģistrēta ar nosaukumu Bijusī Dienvidslāvijas Republika Maķedonija. Bet arī šis bija kompromiss, jo Grieķija nekādi nevēlējās jaunajai valstij atļaut lietot nosaukumu “Maķedonija.” Grieķu arguments, ka šāds nosaukums rada aizdomas par Maķedonijas jaunās valsts pretenzijām uz Grieķijas ziemeļos atrodamo Maķedonijas reģionu, faktisko vēsturisko Maķedoniju. Vēsturiskā Maķedonija, jeb Mecedonas grieķu karaliste pastāvēja no 7. līdz 2. gadsimtam pirms mūsu ēras. Tās pilsētā Pellā arī piedzima Maķedonijas Aleksandrs jeb Aleksandrs Lielais un arī viņa Tēvs Filips Otrais. Teritoriāli tikai neliela daļa no mūsdienu Ziemeļmaķedonijas Republikas ietilpa senās Mecedonas sastāvā. Tādēļ Grieķijas iebildumi pret šī termina attiecināšanu uz negrieķu teritorijām un cilvēkiem daudzu acīs ir pamatoti. Un Grieķijas pozīcijas atbalstītāji norādīja, ka Maķedonija mēģina piesavināties nosaukumu un simboliku no senās Maķedonijas, ar kuru tiem faktiski nav nekāda liela saistība. Rezultātā, Grieķija bloķēja valsts dalību ANO līdz kompromisam tika panākts pagaidu nosaukums Bijusī Dienvidslāvijas Republika Maķedonija, kas bija gan grūti izrunājams, gan politiski jūtīgs. Maķedoniešu cīņa par valsts nosaukumu gan nemazinājās, tāpat kā nemazinājās arī Grieķijas pretestība. Tik ļoti liela bija pretestība, ka Grieķija nosaukuma maiņu sasaistīja ar jaunās valsts centieniem pievienoties gan NATO, gan Eiropas Savienībai. Ilgus gadus Ziemeļmaķedonijas Republikas attīstība un investīcijas kavējās. Līdz pat 1995. gadam Grieķija bija pat noteikusi tirdzniecības embargo pret FYROM. Grieķija ceturtdaļgadsimtu bloķēja maķedoniešu virzību uz NATO un Eiropas Savienību. Risinājums nosaukumam tika atrasts un īstenots tikai 2018. gada jūnijā, kad tika parakstīta Prespas vienošanās starp Grieķijas un maķedoniešu pusēm. Līgums stājās spēkā 2019. gada 12. februārī, kad arī valsts ieguva oficiālo nosaukumu Ziemeļmaķedonijas Republika. Nepilnu gadu vēlāk valsts iestājās NATO un 2022. gadā ES uzsāka iestāšanās sarunas ar Ziemeļmaķedonijas Republiku. Te gan ir vēl viena lieta, ko jāpiemin. Par valsts nosaukuma maiņu 2019. gada septembrī notika konsultatīvs referendums. Tajā burtiski iedzīvotājiem bija jāpiekrīt vai jānoraida priekšlikums, ka valstij tiek mainīts nosaukums, lai tā varētu iestāties Eiropas Savienībā un NATO. Referendums nebija juridiski saistošs, bet tajā 94 procenti nobalsoja par. Problēma gan, ka tikai nepilni 37 procenti balstiesīgo piedalījās. Šis referendums ES integrācijas vārdā atgādināja 1998. gadā Latvijā notikušo referendumu par Pilsonības likuma grozījumiem, kas arī tika uztverts kā neoficiāls referendums tieši par dalību Eiropas Savienībā. Par to, kā 25 gadus vēlāk vērtēt šī referenduma nozīmīgumu no Latvijas Eiroatlantiskās integrācijas viedokļa, vaicājām tā laika Latvijas valsts prezidentam Guntim Ulmanim.

Der Balkan hat beim diesjährigen Eurovision ziemlich abgelost. Kroatien, Slowenien und FYROM sind vorher rausgeflogen. Albanien auf der 21, Serbien auf der 15 und Bulgarien immerhin noch auf der 11. Immerhin können wir uns damit trösten, dass die zweitplatzierte Französin einen serbischen Opa hat und der drittplatzierte Schweizer kosovo-albanische Eltern. Krsto und Danijel kommentieren die Balkanbeiträge und erzählen euch, warum das alles eigentlich eine große Verschwörung gegen Kroatien ist.

Økonomi, immigration, Tyrkiet, politikere, der ikke vil gå på kompromis og sure vælgere – premierminister Tsipras står i problemer til halsen i Grækenland. Problemerne skal vi se nærmere på i denne podcast. Der skal være valg i 2019, og det bliver svært for premierminister Tsipras at blive genvalgt. Ca. 3/4 af de græske vælgere er utilfredse med den økonomiske aftale med EU, som Tsipras indgik – nogle siger tvunget til at indgå - i 2015. Og specielt de højrenationalistiske vælgere er rasende over, at Tsipras har godkendt, at nabolandet FYROM fremover officielt kan kalde sig ”Republikken Nordmakedonien”. Immigration er også højt på den politiske dagsorden i Grækenland. Her er det både EU og ikke mindst Tyrkiet, der er i skudlinjen. 400 års tyrkisk besættelse af Grækenland er på ingen måder glemt; Tyrkiet er Grækenlands ærkefjende og vice versa. Immigration til Grækenland via Tyrkiet er det største problem i forholdet mellem de to lande i øjeblikket. Hør Danmarks ambassadør i Grækenland Klavs A. Holms bud på, hvor Grækenland er på vej hen.

Greece and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (fYROM) have for decades clashed over nine letters: M-A-C-E-D-O-N-I-A. The conflict isn't new, but the solution is. Last June, the two nations signed an agreement that officially changes fYROM's name to the "Republic of North Macedonia". But why did the country have to change its name in the first place? What exactly is Macedonia? Why is this happening now? And, what are the implications of the agreement being ratified by the two nations? Tune in and we will try to untangle this complex, messy situation for you.

For 27 years, the question of what to formally call the country informally known as "Macedonia" has been a diplomatic thorn in the side of Europe and the Balkans.  Macedonia became independent upon the dissolution of the former Yugoslavia in 1991. Immediately, though, the question of what to call this new country became a diplomatic and political crisis. Macedonia borders Greece and the region of Greece that borders Macedonia is called..."Macedonia." So, for decades Greece has systematically blocked Macedonia from calling itself "Macedonia." In fact, at the United Nations, of which Macedonia is a member state, it is known as FYROM, which stands for "The Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia."   This name dispute has had some real and profound international implications, as my guest today Damon Wilson, explains.   Damon Wilson is the executive vice president of the Atlantic Council and he also served for a time at the White House and at NATO where he helped oversee negotiations between Macedonia and its neighbors. As he explains the inability of Greece and Macedonia to resolve the name dispute has left Macedonia unable to join the EU and NATO, as many of its neighbors have.    But now, negotiations over the summer between the Prime Ministers of Greece and Macedonia lead to a big breakthrough. The issue now is with the Parliaments of both countries, where ratification of this agreement is in a precarious state.

Auf dem Ballaballa-Balkan stehen mal wieder Landesgrenzen zur Disposition. Die Staatspräsidenten Serbiens und Kosovos verhandeln offen darüber, ob man nicht ein paar Gebiete tauschen könnte, damit da unten endlich mal Schluss ist mit dem ganzen Völker-Kuddelmuddel. Und die Idee hat durchaus ihre Befürworter - sogar in der EU. Man ist zwar weit davon entfernt, handelseinig zu werden, aber schon jetzt sorgt die Idee für Aufregung in der gesamten Region. Warum das so ist, das erläutern Krsto und Danijel in der aktuellen Ausgabe. Nebenbei geht es mal wieder um FYROM und griechische Befindlichkeiten, die Milchindustrie im sozialistischen Jugoslawien und die Frage, ob der Montenegriner an sich wirklich so faul ist, wie allgemein behauptet.

* Er det Kim Jung-un som kom best fra toppmøtet med Trump i Singapore? Vi oppsummerer og ser framover her i Urix på lørdag. * I går varslet Trump at USA innfører 25 prosent toll på en lang rekke kinesiske varer. Kina svarer med gjengjeldelsestoll. Hvilke følger kan handelskrigen mellom de to gigantene få? * Krigsherren fra Kongo var den første som ble dømt for å ha brukt voldtekt som våpen i krig. Nå er han frikjent og drar trolig fra krigsforbryterdomstolens fengsel til politisk maktkamp i Kongo. * I Tyrkia kan ikke den nærmest allmektige president Erdogan være helt sikker på å vinne valget om en uke. Opposisjonen står mer samlet. * FYROM er ikke et skjellsord, men en forkortelse av det offisielle navnet på et lite Balkan-land. Kanskje kan et enklere navn åpne for EU og NATO-medlemskap. * I Brasil leder høyresidens kandidat foran høstens presidentvalg. Landet preges av sterk sosial spenning. * Kjemper det belgiske fotballandslaget for to nasjoner, eller kanskje ingen ...? Spørsmålet stilles i vårt VM-aktuelle korrespondentbrev fra Philip Lote.

Fino a pochi mesi fa un nuovo allargamento dell'Unione europea verso sudest, nella regione dei Balcani occidentali che rappresenta una specie di "buco" nella cartina europea, sembrava una prospettiva remota, addirittura appartenente al passato.Lo scorso 6 febbraio però la Commissione europea ha presentato la sua nuova strategia sull’allargamento dell’Unione europea, parlando esplicitamente di Serbia e Montenegro come possibili candidati per un ingresso nell'Unione nel 2025. Per raccontare questa storia bisogna però ripartire da un momento che sembra lontanissimo rispetto all’Europa di oggi, ovvero il 2014, l’insediamento di Jean-Claude Juncker come presidente della Commissione. All’epoca le prospettive di allargamento erano state come minimo raffreddate rispetto al decennio precedente, perché si era detto di voler puntare sul consolidamento dell’Unione. Paolo Bergamaschi, dal 1995 consigliere politico del Parlamento europeo, istituzione differente ma in costante dialogo con la Commissione, racconta questo nuovo orizzonte.

Kurz bevor das Kriegsverbrechertribunal für das ehemalige Jugoslawien in Den Haag (ICTY) seine Arbeit einstellt, haben der spektakuläre öffentliche Suizid des verurteilten kroatischen Kriegsverbrechers Slobodan Praljak und das Urteil gegen den bosnisch-serbischen General Ratko Mladic, der unter anderem für das Massaker von Srebrenica verantwortlich zeichnet, den Gerichtshof noch einmal in den Mittelpunkt der öffentlichen Wahrnehmung gerückt. Krsto und Danijel beschäftigen sich mit der Arbeit des ICTY, der Rezeption seiner Urteile in den Nachfolgestaaten Jugoslawiens und der Frage, was eigentlich alle "Patrioten" auf dem Ballaballa-Balkan dazu bringt, Massenmörder abzufeiern. Nebenbei feiern die beiden, dass nun auch Montenegro eine eigene Sprache hat, beschäftigen sich - schon wieder - mit katholisch-kroatischen Gemeinden in Deutschland, und haben ein wenig Angst davor, dass FYROM demnächst einfach nur noch "Neues Mazedonien" heißt.

In WPRB's language show Around the World in 11 Phrases' 42nd segment, Mahishan invites Bobo, Princeton’s only Macedonian undergrad, to teach us how to say “no” to FYROM in Macedonian. Aired: March 2017

Krsto und Danijel widmen sich in der fünften Episode ihres Podcasts jenem Balkanland, das in westlichen Medien nicht selten als Absurdistan beschrieben wird. Bosnien-Herzegowina, ein Land, drei Ethnien, zwei Entitäten, zehn Kantone, drei Staatsoberhäupter und unendlich viele Probleme. Ein Staat, den so wie er jetzt ist, eigentlich niemand haben will, den zu reformieren sich aber alle Beteiligten weigern. Krsto und Danijel erläutern historische Hintergründe und aktuelle Entwicklungen im Land ihrer Vorfahren (beider Familien stammen ursprünglich aus Bosnien). Nebenbei erfahrt Ihr, was kroatische Lebensschützer in Frankfurt zu suchen haben, warum FYROM alias Mazedonien immer noch keine Regierung hat...und wie schwer Krsto es im Leben hatte. Sehr schwer nämlich. Sehr, sehr schwer. So sad.

Bereits am 11. Dezember wurde in Mazedonien gewählt. Doch noch immer herrscht Uneinigkeit darüber, wer der nun die Wahlen gewonnen hat. Die regierende VMRO-DPMNE reklamiert den Sieg für sich. Die Opposition um die sozialdemokratische Partei wittert Wahlbetrug. Es ist der vorläufige Endpunkt einer Staatskrise, die durch das autoritäre Regime des von 2006 bis 2016 regierenden Premierministers Nikola Gruevski ausgelöst wurde. Durch Kleptokratie, den Abbau demokratischer Rechte, Einschüchterung und eine Abhöraktion, deren Bekanntwerden Anfang 2015 Massenproteste auslöste, die als "Bunte Revolution" für Schlagzeilen sorgten. Krsto und Danijel erläutern die Hintergründe, wagen einen Ausblick und beschäftigen sich ansonsten mal wieder mit Fascho-Rocker Thompson, einem faschistischen Gruß in Jasenovac, den blockierten Beitrittsverhandlungen zwischen Serbien und der EU und dem großen Skandal, den man in Kroatien damit auslösen kann, wenn man als Präsidentin serbische Schokoriegel verteilt.
