The "Macedonian" sentiment is not even genuine. It was cultivated by Tito in order to give them some sense of national identity. |
I didn't offer any opinion of my own on this subject. I know what "Macedonia" stands for. Now and in history. I just said what the Greeks MIGHT resent Bulgars for. Now.
... and Romanians.. who really knows where they come from. They're a kind of a mystery in Europe. They speak a langauge that is a descendant of vulgar latin which SHOULD make them romans descendants, but some theories are finding some genotype similarities with Albanians... dunno... it's all to complicated for me. I gave up in trying to figure those guys out.
