Macedonian National Minority in the Republic of Albania

The Macedonian national minority in the Republic of Albania – indigenously Macedonian Christian and Islamized population with local ethnic culture as an integral part of the total Macedonian ethnic culture. This population is recorded in the medieval and the oldest Turkish census defiter. At the beginning of ⅹⅹ c. It was stackally involved in the Albanian state territory (Mala Prespa in 1919, Lo Brdo, Gora and part of the Debar Field in 1923). Albanians ethnically differentiated in ethnic groups with group endogamamy. Macedonians from Albania belong to two Confessions: Orthodox Christianity and Islam. The Macedonian population with a Christian faith is in the area of ​​Mala Prespa, in the villages of Boboto and Drenuani (Korcan) and Vrbika (Kostur Kostura), while the two main confessions are represented in other areas. In the final northern Macedonian ethnic landscapes, naked No., part of the Debar Pole and part of the Gora population in the Turkish period was exposed to the processes of Islamization. Migration village-city is more pronounced in the Orthodox Christian Macedonian population. The dominant Macedonian population in Albania is in the ethnic lands of Golo Brdo – 16 villages with predominantly Macedonian population, which in the domestic bit speaks the Macedonian mother tongue: Stebla, Clera, Gynevci, Trebiste, weather (Vrbot, Top, Tucchovi, Ostren, a slightly harsh, ladometer, gladdy (lens), Osecon, Passoni, Radovis (Radošta), a hoist and safe (s); Gora – 9 villages with the same characteristics: Borie, Shistovec, Oresk, Orgista, Pakish, Crnojavo, Novo Selo, Zapot and Kicks; Mala Prespa – 9 villages: Tuminian, Upper Gorica, Dolna Gorica, Shulin, Globocani, Pustec, Leska, Zrnovsko and Cerje; Koresh, Kostur – Village Vrbnik (Wartnik); Korchanski – villages of Boboto and Drenumen and Ohrid / Struga – villages Lin, Tusheri and Snip. The Macedonians from Albania consider the approximate figure of 200,000 Macedonians (from both confessions) in Albania, of which about 20,000 only in the city of Tirana and a significant number in other Albanian cities (Durres, Kukes, Elbasan, Kavai Korcha, Bilista, Subber etc.). The state has not yet published an official number of Macedonians in Albania, and data on the number can not be obtained from censuses, as there is no graffe for a declaration of the municipal building in the village. Pustec national minorities. Only about 5% of Macedonians (Mala Prespa) enjoy territorially limited minority rights. The language is Macedonian with specific traits in the Northwest, Western and southwestern Macedonian speeches, as follows: in Gora – Goran speech; In Golo Brdo – Debar Golobrack-Drimski speech; In Korcani – Boboska speech; In the village of Vrbnik (Kostur Kurko) – Top speech; In Mala Prespa – Western Preparation; In the villages Lin, Tusheri and Scripture – Struga-Ohridski, etc. The Macedonians from Albania speak the Albanian official language. Macedonian speeches from Albania show original archaism, which is a consequence of their maintenance in the domestic bit, since the educational process everywhere, except in primary education in a small press, takes place in Albanian, as well as communication at the state level, in the institutions, in the public Movies and in all other media. Macedonians in Albania are indigenous population in their settlements in several ethnic landscapes. Following Old Slavic and Slavic-Macedonian toponymia in Albania, approximation reconstruction of the territory that was marked with Macedonian (Slavic) settlements in the early Middle Ages, during the Turkish period, and in the new period after the creation and development of the Albanian state in Ⅹⅹ c. Once the ethnic different population in this area has passed through the process of ethnic penetrations, a process of grouping according to related language and ethnic culture has begun. In this way, on the one hand, the Albanian exogal tribes, and the other Macedonian endogents ethnic groups (ⅹⅴⅰⅰ-ⅹⅴⅰⅰⅰ c.). It can be concluded that the natural ethnic border between the Macedonian and the Albanian population was Chervical, and towards the southwest Korcan and Devol, where this border touched the Macedonian landscapes around the two major lakesOhrid and Prespa. In the classical Turkish period, continuity of Macedonian settlements was maintained despite the processes of Islamization in central and northern regions (Debar Pole, Golo Brdo and Gora). Intensive migration of the Macedonian population to the East can be concluded at the time of the Turkish chifling feudal system. Migration is associated with the emergence of local semenish Turkish feudal peoples of Albanian origin – boils in the north and Ali-Pasha Janina peptured in the south (ⅹⅴⅰⅰⅰ-ⅹⅰⅹ c.). Especially Ali-Pasha Janinian peppered unfavorable for the survival of the Macedonian population was the penultimate Turkish territorial organization (1846-1877) of four vilaets: Ioannina, Bitola, Shkodra and Kosovo, which has been working with the Balkan and Albanian national movements in the second half of ⅹⅰⅹ . Albanian penetration towards Macedonian territories, under the cover of the Turkish state, caused the eligible processes of the Macedonian population. With the inability to create their own Macedonian state after the collapse of the Turkish Empire, when European countries enabled the creation of the Albanian state, the migration of the Macedonian population east, north and south continued. Apart from the military conditions, the reason for the formal involvement of the Macedonian ethnic areas in the territory of the newly established Albanian state: Mala Prespa (1919), Golo Brdo and Gora (1923), etc. In addition to the pressure on the Macedonians in the Balkan wars and in the first and World War II (the time of Ahmet Zogo and Enver Hoxha), Ahmet Zogo was not complete, so that a significant number of Macedonian population S “still lives in Albania. In addition to the mechanisms of the state for the Albanianization of the Macedonians, a good part of them retained their ethnic culture: language, oral folklore tradition and local folk costume as a non-verbal symbol of ethnic identity. Minority rights are not guaranteed in Albania. Minority communities are marginalized in the sphere of economics, public administration, education, in legislation, in political and public life, in the media, etc. Under the pressure of the state Macedonians in Albania were S “still exposed to Albanianization. To facilitate that process, in addition to education in Albanian, the state conducted an action for changing personal names and surnames in Albanian form. These strokes were accompanied by the multiple burning of the parent books. Only a small part of the Macedonians (in nine villages from Mala Prespa) have a privilege to study in Macedonian language in primary education, but with translated Albanian textbooks. The loss of the elementary minority and human rights of the Macedonians coincides with the time of the Informbiro (1948), when the then FNRJ was excommunicated by the Stalinist bloc states due to political disagreements. After the end of World War II and until 1948 There were schools in Macedonian language by individual villages in all Macedonian ethnic landscapes in Albania, and the Macedonian-Albanian border easily passed in both directions, with special personal and family documents for the Macedonian population of the border belt. Since 1948 The border became unemodern, Macedonian teachers were expelled, and most schools were closed. In those who remained, Alban-one of the bunkers in the border belt ski teachers who have proved to be a bad move were employed, because they were not able to communicate with children and their parents who spoke only in Macedonian language. For these reasons, a new practice of educating teachers from the local population, which were then returned to their native villages to teach children in Albanian language through explanations in Macedonian. This practice is carried out to today’s days. Albanian intellectuals of Macedonian origin explain this privilege of Mala Prespa with the fact that prominent officials of the former Communist Party (Kozi Stoands, Pandas Cristo and others) were Macedonians from Mala Prespa, and the SOST was the second person in the state, after Enver Hoxha. It is thought that their own is the credit that in the villages of Mala Prespa after 1948. It remained to work local teacher Nikola Berovski and teach children in Macedonian language. It won the right is recognized only on the territory of Mala Prespa, which is a specific “minority reserve”, because with eviction from the landscape in other settlements in Albania, residents lose the right to be Macedonians. After the fall of the regime of Enver Hoxha, minority ethnic groups in Albania are politically Macedonian teachers with their own colleagues Albanians in Korca after the Second World War Viraa, formed their parties and civic associations. Since the state does not care about the rights of minorities, which all together make approximately 1/3 of the Albanian society, all associations rely on their own financial sources or discreet financial assistance from their home countries. Similarly, Macedonians in Albania are organized. Several political and civic associations of Macedonians: Company “Prespa” (founded in 1991), the company “Brotherhood” (1991), the company “Gora” (1993), the “Peace” (1993) and the company “MES” (Macedonian-Kameni Fetahu, president of the Macedonian Society “Peace” in Albania NCI-Aegean Society) from the village of Vrbnik (2000), united by resolution (2001) in the community of Macedonians in Albania based in Tirana. A decision was made by the previous newspaperPrespa” to become a periodic newspaper of the newspaper of the Macedonians from the Prespa, and to turn out bilingual (in Macedonian and Albanian language). The Albanian Albanian Radio once a week broadcast a program of five minutes in Macedonian language, while the television there was never a show of Macedonian. In 2002 The first private radio station of the Macedonian language “Radio Prespa” from 7:00 to 8:00 Cha-Sot, as part of the Program of the Political Society “Prespa”. In October 2004, the community of Macedonians in Albania is renamed the Macedonian European Integration Party in Albania, a session of the Regional Committee of the Macedonians in Albania “Macedonian Alliance”, which is the only legally registered party of the Macedonians in Albania, which the last Local elections received the only mayoral Macedonian.
