NATIONALITY IN THE BALKANS: THE CASE OF THE MACEDONIANS by F. A. K. Yasamee (Balkans: A Mirror of the New World Order, Istanbul: EREN, 1995; pp. 121-132) More than seventy years ago the British scholar R. W. Seton-Watson published a work entitled The Rise of Nationality in the Balkans . Since then, nationality and its associated problems have remained at the heart of the politics, both domestic and foreign, of the peoples and states of the Balkan peninsula. Nationality has proved a persistent force, but not an immutable one. The perceptions, aspirations and expectations which define such notions as "Greek", "Bulgarian" or "Serb" have changed over time. They have been revised from above, by a succession of political regimes: monarchical, parliamentary, military, communist and post-communist. They have been more subtly affected by social and cultural changes, including the advent of mass literacy and mass communications. Above all, they have been altered by the great political upheavals which the Balkan peninsula has undergone in the course of the twentieth century: the Balkan Wars of 1912-1913, the First and Second World Wars, and the post-1989 collapse of communism. A striking instance of the mutability of nationality is furnished by that group of South Slavs who today call themselves Macedonians. Not only does their nationality continue to be disputed by several of their neighbours, but they themselves have accomplished the feat, unique in the modern Balkans, of assuming one national identity, and then discarding it in favour of another. The Macedonians are an extreme case, but it will be suggested here that the forces which have governed the peculiar evolution of their sense of nationality are not, at bottom, different from those which have shaped the nationalities of other Balkan peoples. Before proceeding to a detailed examination of the Macedonian case, therefore, it is appropriate to make certain general observations on the subject of nationality in the modern Balkans.

63. The Consortium Rather than a fictional war in the balkans diverting the nation s attention from a Clinton disclosed that he d been boning up on Balkan history. http://www.consortiumnews.com/1999/050499d.html

May 4, 1999 'Wag the Dog' in Reverse By Mollie Dickenson P resident Clinton staggered from his messy impeachment acquittal in February only to find himself leading NATO into the middle of a gruesome war in the Balkans in March. It was a transition that neither he nor the American people fully expected or fully understood. Americans weren't prepared for the horrors of Slobodan Milosevic's "ethnic cleansing" of Albanian Kosovars. Nor was the country ready for NATO's "surgical strikes" that inflicted hundreds of civilian dead by missing targets, by accidentally bombing the wrong targets - such as columns of Kosovar refugees and by intentionally destroying Serbia's official television studios in Belgrade. Distracted by the 13-month Monica Lewinsky scandal and the impeachment proceedings, the noted domestic-policy wonk may have skimped on the time needed to study and address the worsening crisis in the former Yugoslavia. The president was preoccupied with the Senate impeachment trial and his upcoming State of the Union address that many political pundits felt was crucial to his political survival.

It was christened the Cold War International History Project - CWIHP. During the next decade, in collaboration with the National Security Archive - an independent organization situated at the George Washington University and other university and research centers - the Cold War Project organized more than 20 conferences and round table discussions in various cities - from Washington to Warsaw and from Reykjavik to Hong Kong. The most recent conference was held in May, 2000 in Plovdiv, Bulgaria. More than 70 representatives from 15 European countries and the USA attended the first such conference in South East Europe - "Cold War in the Balkans - History and Consequences". It was organized by the Cold War International History Project in Washington and the Cold War Research Group - Bulgaria, in Sofia, with the assistance of various other official and non-governmental organizations and foundations.

66. A There are some persistent themes in the history of the balkans. Indeed, alook at Balkan history reveals a major historical signature. http://www.zmag.org/dajkovic.htm

A “model” for the Balkans Alex N. Dajkovic There are some persistent themes in the history of the Balkans. After an eclipse of about fifty years following World War II, they have forcefully and often violently reemerged over the past decade. Reflecting on the pattern, George Kennan asserts that “obviously, it is a problem with very deep historical roots.” “Aggressive nationalisms” rooted in “deeper traits of character inherited, presumably, from a distant tribal past” continue to plague the region and “seem to be decisive as a determinant of the troublesome, baffling and dangerous situation that marks that part of the world today.” Kennan expresses a view that prevails in the Western political and intellectual elite circles, and serves to justify policy. Indeed, a look at The situation in the current version of Yugoslavia is illustrative. Though it is formally still a federation of Serbia and Montenegro, Kosovo being a province of Serbia, Yugoslavia is not recognized by the dominant powers, apparently awaiting final resolution of its status, consistent with their interests. At present, Kosovo is ruled by outside powers, formally through the UN. Montenegro has joined “transatlantic integrations,” Serbia’s status remaining uncertain. Montenegro is regularly hailed as an example for the Balkans by Western officials. When, in February of 2000, the Montenegrin Prime Minister visited Washington, US Secretary of State Madeleine Albright “reinforced US support for the Government of Montenegro’s efforts on democratization and economic reform.” At the time, the State Department emphasized that Montenegro is “serving as a model and stimulus for change” in the region. Robert Gelbard, former US envoy to the Balkans, expressed a similar sentiment when he called Montenegro a “guiding light” in his testimony to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

Turning Points in Balkan History – Serbian Assembly Declares Independence from Bosnia and Herzegovina (1992) Part II by David Wininger The conflict continued to intensify culminating in the SDS declaration of the founding of the Serbian Republic of Bosnia-Herzegovina that was to be later known as the Republika Srpska on January 9, 1992. ( )* Two days later, it declared that the republic of Bosnia-Herzegovina did not even exist anymore. ( ) Karadžic stated that the SDS would begin to establish the institutions of this new republic “only if ‘the Croats or Muslims try to separate from Yugoslavia or if they are recognized’”. ( Facing destiny head on, Bosnians voted on February 29 and March 1, 1992 on the following referendum: “Are you in favor of a sovereign and independent Bosnia-Herzegovina, a state of equal citizens and nations of Muslims, Serbs, Croats, and others who live in it?” ( ) Many Bosnian Serbs (who formed 31% of the population) ( ) boycotted the referendum as encouraged by Karadžic ( ) (who has been quoted as calling the decision to vote for independence “the war option”) ( ) as well as pamphlets that were dropped by the Yugoslav air force.

Review Essays Orientalism , the Balkans, and Balkan Historiography K. E. FLEMING Tintin , the comic strip Belgian boy detective, has many exciting international adventures. He busts up an opium ring in Egypt, he frees a gorilla from a Scottish castle, he discovers the Yeti in Tibet, he flies to the moon. But even with so fantastic an agenda, only once does he manage to travel to a thoroughly imaginary place. In King Ottokar's Sceptre , Tintin finds himself in southeastern Europe in the fictive "Syldavia," next to the similarly invented "Borduria," at war with anarchists, corrupt military police, mustachioed fez-wearing bandits, and all manner of narghile-smoking Balkan buffoons. Even in being introduced to the material, one is intimidated and perplexed. If all of these people have the same name, one might wonder, what's the point in trying to figure out what's going on? Politics, too, is inscrutable. In its contemporary political unrest, Syldavia bears a striking resemblance to another fictional land, "Herzoslovakia," the Balkan homeland of Agatha Christie's villainous Boris Anchoukoff in The Secret of Chimneys , a land, by Christie's account, of violence, brigandry, and mystery, a country where the national "hobby" is "assassinating kings and having revolutions."

By Max Garrone May 4, 2000 J ournalists may get the first shot at writing history, but most often that means packaging the day's events in a 1,500-word article rather than a sustained consideration of the history and context of current situations. Two important new books on the Balkans, Misha Glenny's "The Balkans" and Michael Ignatieff's "Virtual War," are the products of a fruitful dissatisfaction with these journalistic limits. Both Glenny and Ignatieff have already written books on the struggles in the Balkans and ethnic nationalism in the post-Cold War era. Their latest efforts share a desire to dispel the myth that the Balkans are destined to continue an endless cycle of revenge something that traditional journalistic accounts did much to further, with their repetition of Serbian propaganda, misinformation and the easily digestible conclusion that the conflict was motivated by intractable ethnic hatreds.

77. FAQ For 25 Lectures On Modern Balkan History TwentyFive Lectures on Modern Balkan history. 1996. Online. Many topics inBalkan history are controversial, and I receive many comments from readers http://www.lib.msu.edu/sowards/balkan/faq.html

Twenty-Five Lectures on Modern Balkan History FAQ Many of the questions asked about this Web site fall into certain groups. This FAQ may be helpful to readers, since sometimes I cannot reply to email right away. 1. Q: Will there ever be a "Lecture 26" on the Kosovo crisis of 1999? A: Probably not, for three reasons. First, Lecture 25 (on the civil war in Bosnia) already illustrates how hard it is to write "history" in the absence of research sources in depth. Second, my current job (as a librarian) does not leave me enough free time to properly research this complicated event. Third, other sources are available. 2. Q: How should these lectures be cited in a footnote or bibliography? A: A variety of Web sites offer advice about citing Web resources. There are also printed reference guides, including Nancy Crane's Electronic Styles: A Handbook for Citing Electronic Information (1996), and the newest edition of the Chicago Manual of Style . Based on those sources, Lecture 1 could be cited this way, as an example:

78. WashingtonPost.com: Balkans Report From WashingtonPost.com. updated 1999 http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/inatl/longterm/balkans/balkans.htm

In This Report Featured Story Background Photos ... Report Index Yugoslav Republics Negotiate Future Ties Ivan Markovic, left, and Goran Matic, representing the United Yugoslav Leftist, said they would continue talks with Montenegro to try to keep Yugoslavia united. (AP)   By William Drozdiak Washington Post Foreign Service Wednesday, October 27, 1999; Page A24 The ruling parties of both republics concluded a first round of talks exploring how to prevent the federation from breaking apart, and officials said they are seeking ways to meet Montenegro's demands for a more equal relationship with Serbia, the larger and more powerful of the two republics. Montenegro, a mountainous land on the Adriatic coast, proposed in August a series of radical changes to the Yugoslav constitution that would lead to greater independence for its 626,000 citizens. Its president, Milo Djukanovic, has insisted on holding a referendum calling for secession unless Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic consents to a form of self-rule that includes a separate Montenegrin currency, army and foreign policy. Serbian authorities have warned that Montenegro's demands could trigger another Balkan war in the wake of those that followed the departure of Slovenia, Croatia and Bosnia from the old six-republic Yugoslav federation earlier this decade. "Our basic complaint is that they are presenting their proposals as a 'take it or leave it' plan," said Tomislav Nikolic, a leader of Serbia's ultranationalist Radical Party. "Not even NATO has frightened us with such threats."
