MACEDONIANS : CONSPICUOUS BY THEIR ABSENCE

Abstract

The rich cultural and historical past of the Balkan nations is inspiring when one writes about the imperialistic strives of the Balkan states towards Macedonia and the Macedonians. The Balkan scientists' research contributed to the megalomaniac politics of the state of their origin. In such conditions, the two Balkan wars and the inexistence of Macedonians when it comes to the public were inevitable.
