When referring to the country, it is advised to use 'Macedonia.' Be mindful of sensitive topics regarding Macedonian-Bulgarian, Macedonian-Albanian, or Macedonian-Greek relations.

About this holiday

The Macedonian Struggle (1893–1912) was a period of conflict over Ottoman Macedonia involving Greek and Bulgarian residents. It was part of a larger guerrilla war (1904–1908) where Greek, Bulgarian, and Serbian revolutionary groups fought over control and the national identity of the Slavic population. The conflict continued through the Balkan Wars.
