MACEDONIA HUMAN RIGHTS PRACTICES, 1993
DATE: JANUARY 31, 1994
AUTHOR: U.S. DEPARTMENT OF STATE
National/Racial/Ethnic Minorities
The population of about 2.2 million is composed of a variety of national and ethnic groups--Macedonians, Albanians, Turks, Romas (Gypsies), Serbs, Greeks, and Vlachs (Aromanians). All citizens are equal under the law. The Constitution provides for the protection of the ethnic, cultural, linguistic, and religious identity of minorities. However, ethnic tension and suspicion are evident within the population, and popular prejudices exist. The Government appears committed to a policy of trying to address nationality concerns without provoking an extremist, nationalist backlash.
