People
All people on the Balkan are different with their characteristics, opinions, looks, finance and the popularity. I think that there are many famous people on the Balkan in all spheres. However, I think that the biggest glory have the politicians, the artists, the musicians, the sportsman, and all people who are making something good and because of that have a big fame. The important roles in the increasement of the popularity of these persons have the media on the Balkan. >For me, the most famous person on the Balkan is Slobodan Milosevic because he was the president of Jugoslavija for many years and he had very strong political position. He was the president during the war between Serbia, Bosnia and Hercegovina. As a result of his politic there were many victims and negative consequences for Serbian nation and also other nations.The second place I reserved for the best Macedonian handball player Indira
Kastratovic. She is the best goalscorer of the world championship.Their popularity is passing away. Their places will be replaced with new persons. Their names will take place in the history of the Balkan.

Balkan people - a synonym of something special and specific, a synonym of persistence, tragically destines and permanent diversity in all points of view - as a separate part of the world known as "barrel with gunpowder" .Despite all the roughness and poorness that Balkan people happen to live with, today they have proved that they can go on with their lives even in conditions like these. But, of course, only they know how to attach that.On the Balkan, there live a lot of people, but people of different cultures, nationalities, different ethic and moral principles. As a result of that they happen to be in eternal light about their distinctive interests, although they persistently try to overcome the prejudices.However, it is a nation which is confronted with the present and also the future. That That sever between the unreachable west and century regression of the Balkan makes young people to look for an easier way to a brighter future. Still, in our country young people can get a very good education. But, the real problem about it is that Balkan countries are not able to use these potentials. That's the reason why a lot of young Balkan creative people leave their countries and go abroad.In spite the fact that many people think that our country does not exist, we ore proud to live in it.

LET'S LOVE, SHARE LOVE - TO BE LOVED!!!!!!!!!!!
Everyone is born, live and die, but everyone on his own way. Mother Teresa was born like a peace of pearl found in the shell and she was living with love and passion for reality. In the dark sky she found her place to shine like a sunbeam, to light the faces of the sick people and to give back their love, happiness and brightness. She was sharing her life with the sick and homeless and hungry people. She became a mother of all people and children who were on the way of death. Today, you are death but you are living in our hearts, in the hearts of the people who were saved by you. We are admired of your work, bravery and solidarity.

MACEDONIA IN THE ANTIQUITY
"FORMATION AND PROGRESS OF THE MACEDONIAN COUNTRY"
Fillip 2nd and Alexander the Great
The creating of the first Macedonian country
was a long time historical process. The formation of the Macedonian country
began at the end of the 8th century BC, and the founder was the King
Perdika (729-678 year BC.). The first dynasty was called Argeadi, and the throne
was in the city of Ajga. The enlargement of the Macedonian country began in the
time when Alexander 1st Filhelen came on the throne
century BC. He was the first Macedonian king who took part in the Olympic games,
and the first king in Macedonia who made silver coins. It is known that the king
Arhelaj did more than the all eight kings before him did. He built many
fortresses and roads in Macedonia, and he transferred the throne from Ajga to
Pela.
When Fillip came
on throne (359-336year BC.) It was a period of great progress for the Macedonian
country. Before he came on the throne he was in the Greek State Teba as a
hostage. There he became familiar with the Greeks occasions and the Greek war
experience. He was well educated and a very capable emperor. When he came on
throne he started to make a great reforms in the Empire. He conducted war
reforms, made a big army known as "Macedonian FALANGA", made financial reforms
and gold coins called "STARTER" with his face on them and with all that he made
Macedonia economically very strong Empire. After he made that war and economical
reforms Fillip started to take over all countries on the Balkans
and by the end of the century he made Macedonia the greatest
Empire on the Balkans and the whole region. The later on conquests that he made
were over Greece. The greatest enemy of Fillip in Athens was the great leader
from the democratic group and man with great authority in Greece Demosten. In
his well-known speeches against Fillip so called "Filipiki" he called Fillip a
stranger and a barbarian who only wanted to destroy the freedom and the
democracy of the Greek people. Fillip the at first take over
North Greece and Tesalija. The main battle between the Macedonian and the Greek
army was played in Heroneja 338year BC where Fillip went home with a great
victory over the Greek army. Alexander the Great. Not so long after that all of
the Greek states fell over Macedonian rule. After he took over whole Greece
Fillip in Korint convoked a Greek congress. On this congress was decided the
Greek and Macedonian army to start with the preparations for the war against
Persia, who was the greatest enemy for Fillip. He
was killed during the preparations in 336year BC. by one of his officers. After
his death his son Alexander the Great came on throne and made Macedonia the
world's greatest Empire. His idea was to create one country for the whole world.
