    MY MACEDONIA NAME SUGGESTION

    I live in the USA. To our south is Mexico.
    Also on the border we have a state
    named New Mexico that is part of the
    USA. Neither Mexico nor the USA have
    problems over the names.

    Maybe FYROM could be named New
    Macedonia.

Skopje. Ohrid Framework Agreement has brought back the peace in Macedonia and
to some great extent it has regained the trust in the institutions, said Deputy Prime
Minister Musa Dzaferi, who is in charge of the implementation of the framework
agreement, writes Macedonian Vecer daily.
In Dzaferi’s words, the adoption of the acts on the use of languages and the authentic
interpretation of the amnesty act do not violate the agreement.

Eight soldier figures, representing a part of
Alexander the Great's phalanx, have arrived
in Macedonia's capital Skopje, where they
will be placed on the central square.

The bronze soldiers are "accompanied " by
eight lions. All new sculptures will be a part
of the grandious composition involving the
statue of Alexander the Great himself, who
has been imagined as the forefather of the
Macedonian nation.

Alexander the Great's 13-meter-high statue
was recently raised in Skopje, much to the
annoyance of Greece, which says
Macedonia is trying to hijack its history.
