Unfortunately, some of us don't have that right.


Check out the video, and you will find out, what are Macedonians going through their history, and what is their presence like.

Learn Macedonian on line

It is estimated that there are approximately one million Macedonian descendants around the world, who don't know their mother tongue.

Finally, there is a chance for them to learn their language, and find out more about their mother land on English, or German.

I hope that this web site, will also help the tourist who plan to visit Republic of Macedonia, to learn more about her and maybe few words.

Check out the web:

Jano mori, Jano sevdalino - Kiril Mancevski

One of the most beautiful Macedonian songs ever made. 

This old footage is from MTV (Macedonian national television) archive, and it is performed by Kiril Mancevski, I hope you will enjoy it!

Also, this was one of the most favourite songs of Tose Proeski, who enjoyed performing it, on his public appearances.


Jano mori, sevdalino

Jano mori , Jano lele , sevdalino,
Moja rosna , Jano mori , detelino,
Aj , moja rosna , Jano mori , detelino.
Pominuvash , Jano mori , zaminuvash,
nit mi zboris, Jano mori, nit se smeesh
Aj, nit mi zboris, Jano mori, nit se smeesh
Me prasaet , Jano mori , majstorite,
shto im zgotvi , Jano mori , za vecera,
Aj , shto im zgotvi , Jano mori , za vecera.
Kad banicka, begu more, kad kokoshka,
Ova vecer , begu more , rudo jagne,
Aj, od dve majki, begu more , zadoeno.

Vision of Skopje 2014

Yesterday (thursday, february 4th 2010) in Skopje, in one of the most prestigious hotels 'Aleksandar Palace', the Ministry of Culture, Municipality of Centre and Skopje Metropolitan Local Government presented the architectural vision for the capital in year 2014.

The video simulation presented the objects, statues, monuments and facade reconstructions which are in construction or planed to be done, in the next four year period.

There is big discussion between the public in Macedonia should this project go on. On one side there are people who totally support it, and on the other there are some who are totally against it.

Personally, I am impressed and fascinated. Skopje will have one of the most beautiful city centres.

Kokino - megalithic observatory

Kokino (Macedonian: Кокино) is an important archaeological site and a megalithic observatory discovered in 2001 by archeologist Jovica Stankovski in the northeastern Republic of Macedonia, approximately 30 km from the town of Kumanovo, near the village of Staro Nagoričane The Megalithic Observatory Kokino is located in the north-east part of Macedonia, near the border with Serbia (more accurate: latitude 42° 15" 47', longitude 21° 57" 32').



The observatory Kokino is near the village Kokino, on the border-line with the village Arbanasko. The entire region today is with small density of population as there are less than 1000 inhabitants in the area of the ten nearby villages.

Wider region registers great number of archaeological sites dated from the time of Neolith up to the Meddle Age indicating the history rich with important settlements, sanctuaries, events and people of at least 6000 years.


The site is more than 3800 years old. The oldest archaeological finds date from the Early Bronze Age. Finds from the Middle Bronze Age are the most numerous (mainly ceramic vessels, stone-mills and a few molds). 

An agglomeration from the Iron Age has also been discovered. The archaeo-astronomical research was carried out by the Bulgarian astro-physicians A. Stoev and M. Mulgova and continued in 2002 by physicist Gjore Cenev from the Planetarium at MKC in Skopje, who got involved in the researches of the site and made the first more comprehensive archeo-astronomical analysis.


Kokino consists of two parts. It includes special stone markers used to track the movement of the Sun and Moon on the eastern horizon. The observatory used the method of stationary observation, marking positions of the Sun at the winter and summer solstice, as well as the equinox.



Kokino has been nominated to be included on UNESCO’s World Heritage Site list.


The importance of the site was confirmed by the U.S. space agency NASA, which placed it on its list of ancient observatories.


1. Abu Simbel, Egypt
2. Stonehenge, Great Britain
3. Angkor Wat, Cambodia
4. Kokino, Macedonia
5. Goseck circle, Germany
