The historical view and bilateral relations between Republic of NorthMacedonia and Greece before the “Prespa Agreement”

Doc.Dr. Senada Laçka
Abstract

National identity among the peoples of the Balkans has historically been a value but also a
challenge for them, internationally recognized. Balkan history that has produced more war
than peace, more poverty than prosperity, more isolation than integration, has filled not
only the pages of stories written around the world but remain relevant and problematic to
this day.
We must answer the questions:

  • What weight does the Macedonian identity have in the eyes of the internationals
    and especially the Greek people, what state do they want to build in relation to the
    Albanians?
  • What Macedonia and what Macedonian identity are Albanians in Macedonia ready
    to support?
  • What does the Balkans want and what would be Macedonia’s position in the
    region?

By answering these questions and by harmonizing these attitudes, we would have a
positive outcome dominated by peace and stability in the Region.
It should be taken into the mind by the international community that the problem of
identity, internal and regional stability constitute a whole and should be developed and
treated as a project and not as a daily policy. On the path to integration, it will be inevitable
for North Macedonia to support the international and regional community by helping it with
the exchange of European experiences that will promote its overall development.
Keywords: Balkans, Macedonia, Greece, National identity.
