In 1912 the old province of Macedonia (contolled by Turkey for about 600 years) was liberated and carved up between Bulgaria, Greece and Serbia. The Serbian part eventually became a republic within Yugoslavia and was allowed to have its own language.
1991 brought independence to the former Serbian part with controversy on all sides. The initial excitement soon gave way to a sense of poverty and hopelessness while the churches were held by tradition and a lack of unity.
At least the country was peaceful – until 2001 when a rebellion broke out among the large Albanian minority. The country’s president Boris Trajkovsky played a major part in bringing a settlement – a godly man from a Methodist background who also met with church pastors from around the country until his death in a plane crash in early 2004.
There is an ongoing dispute with Greece over the naming of the country and this is affecting the nation's application to join the EC and Nato.
