Look in the mirror you manipulative liar. You are still evading over my point more than half the former Yugoslavians now claim they are NOT Slavs but ancient Macedonians. Straight from the mouth of VMRO when they were last in power.
“At the request of the president of Macedonia, the EU Ambassador in Skopje apologised yesterday (19 November) for having called the majority of the country’s population “Slavs”, a development that could harm efforts to find a solution to Macedonia’s name dispute with Greece.EU Ambassador Aivo Orav made a statement in an attempt to calm accusations that the EU was denying Macedonians the right of self-determination. President Gjorge Ivanov asked the EU envoy to apologise, local media reported. Orav spoke last Thursday to the European Parliament’s foreign relations committee in Brussels, using the term “Slav Macedonians” to describe the majority of the country’s population. Slavophone Macedonians are 64% of the population, followed by ethnic Albanians (25%), Turks (3%) and Roma (1.9%) also present.
“While accepting that they speak a Slavic language, Macedonians consider themselves descendents of Alexander the Great. Such a reading of history raises eyebrows in Athens (see background). A Macedonian official told EURACTIV that speaking a Slavic language did not imply being of Slavic ethnicity. He compared Macedonia with Spanish-speaking Latin America, where the population could not be called “Spanish”. Strong disagreement, protest and condemnation’/ An official statement on the Macedonian government website published on Saturday left no doubt about the fury the EU envoy unleashed in Skopje.. “Regarding the use of the term ‘Slav Macedonians’ by Ambassador Aivo Orav, the Government considers that such treatment does not contribute to the solution of the open question that our country has with its southern neighbour, and expresses strong disagreement, protest and condemnation,” the statement reads. The Macedonian government also slams the EU envoy for having expressed “disrespect for the fundamental principle of self-determination and self-naming”.
