Video Description:
On the 26th of July, the traditional gathering of ethnic Macedonians from the Aegean part of Macedonia took place. This was an all-Macedonian meeting of the ethnic Macedonians of the Republic of Macedonia, ethnic Macedonians from Greece, several European countries, the United States, Australia, Canada as well as representatives of several Macedonian organizations from other Balkan countries including "RAINBOW" (Vinozhito - Greece), "OMO Ililnden" (Bulgaria), "Macedonian Alliance for European Integration" (Albania). The event took place in the area of Trnovo, near Bitola close to the Greek - Macedonian border. It was organized by the Association of Macedonians from the Aegean part of Macedonia, with its headquarters in Bitola.
The promoters of this event reminded the attendees that the basic rights and freedoms of the Macedonians are usurped in Greece. The Republic of Greece, even though it is a signatory to the Convention for the Protection of National Minorities, continues to discriminate against the Macedonians in th
at country, and does not enact the Convention into practice. This is the single issue of concern for the organizing association, sending a message to the Macedonians in Greece, Bulgaria and Albania and asking them to respect all the laws of those countries and to be their loyal citizens, assessing t
hat Europe must push these states into respecting the rights and freedoms of the Macedonian minorities that live there. A Resolution due to be sent to the European Parliament, EU chair-country Portugal and NATO Headquarters was read at the end of the event. The Resolution rejects the request of Th
essaloniki mayor and other mayors from the Greek part of Macedonia that the European Parliament adopts a resolution for non-recognition of Macedonia's existence. "Republic of Macedonia does not steal others' historic past. Along with parts in Greece, Bulgaria, Albania, and Serbia in the part of Kos
ovo, Republic of Macedonia is part of Macedonia's ethnic map and has the full right to call itself Republic of Macedonia, while its people to be called Macedonians. Most of countries worldwide and majority of the UN Security Council member-states have recognized the Republic of Macedonia under its c
onstitutional name, and therefore we appeal to all MEPs to provide their contribution in the Macedonia's recognition under its constitutional name, thus enabling the country's sooner EU and NATO accession", said president of the Community of Organizations of Ethnic Macedonians exiled from Greece Nik
ola Kosturski. 27-та традиционална погранична средба на етничките Македонци протерани од Грција Од собирот до меѓународните институции беше упатена резолуција за оствар
ување на шест децениските барања за враќање на нивните имоти во Грција.
