Nier le nom de la Macédoine – c’est nier l’identité du peuple macédonien

Abstract

The denial of the national identity of modern Macedonians, which persists with varying intensity since the beginning of the XXth century, is analyzed regarding two exhibitions (one on the centenary of World War I, and the other on ancient Balkanic heritage) which were organized in Skopje by two European Union member states, France and Bulgaria). The second aspect of the analysis is the pressure and the blackmail imposed on Macedonia mainly by the European Union to change its name. This was carried out by a Government set up by the great powers, illegally and against the will of the Macedonians.
