1. Naam:<\/strong>\u00a0De offici\u00eble naam van Macedoni\u00eb is de 'Republiek Macedoni\u00eb' volgens de eigen grondwet. In internationale kringen wordt het land echter aangeduid als de 'Voormalige Joegoslavische Republiek Macedoni\u00eb' (FYROM), omdat Macedoni\u00eb een geschil heeft met Griekenland over de naam Macedoni\u00eb - lees meer onderaan dit artikel<\/p>\n

2. Moeder Theresa:<\/strong>\u00a0Moeder Theresa werd in 1910 in de Macedonische hoofdstad Skopje geboren uit Albanese ouders. Tegenwoordig is er een museum aan haar gewijd in het centrum van Skopje.<\/p>\n

3. Kuklica:<\/strong>\u00a0Op ongeveer 8 km van de stad Kratovo ligt het kleine dorpje Kuklica, waar ongeveer 100 mensen wonen. Kuklica staat bekend om zijn stenen pilaren die op mensen lijken en heeft daarom de bijnaam 'Stenen Stad'. Volgens de plaatselijke bevolking verschijnen er elke 5-6 jaar nieuwe stenen pilaren.<\/p>\n

4. Stoep:<\/strong>\u00a0In Macedoni\u00eb worden trottoirs niet gebruikt om te lopen, maar om te parkeren.<\/p>\n

5. Deni:<\/strong>\u00a0De Macedonische munteenheid heet 'denarii' (of 'Macedonische denarii') en de kleinste eenheid is 1 - er zijn dus geen oren, zoals we die kennen van de Scandinavische kronen. Ze bestonden echter wel onder de naam 'deni', maar werden afgeschaft vanwege hun minimale waarde en zeldzaamheid.<\/p>\n

Feit: Het Mavrovo-meer is een populaire toeristische attractie die vooral bekend staat om zijn half verzonken kerk<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

6. Werkloosheid:<\/strong>\u00a0Werkloosheid is een groot probleem in Macedoni\u00eb, al sinds het uiteenvallen van Joegoslavi\u00eb in 1991. De jeugdwerkloosheid (onder 15- tot 24-jarigen) bedroeg 53,9% in 2013, terwijl deze voor de hele samenleving 30% bedroeg.<\/p>\n

7. Kokino:<\/strong>\u00a0Volgens NASA is Kokino in Macedoni\u00eb het op drie na oudste astronomische observatorium ter wereld. De drie oudste zijn: Abu Simbel (Egypte), Stonehenge (VK) en Angkor Wat (Cambodja). Kokino ligt 30 km van de stad Kumanovo en ongeveer 6 km van de grens met Servi\u00eb.<\/p>\n

8. Meer van Ohrid:<\/strong>\u00a0Het meer van Ohrid werd 4-5 miljoen jaar geleden gevormd en heeft een gemiddelde diepte van 155 meter, waardoor het een van de oudste en diepste meren ter wereld is. Het heeft 200 endemische diersoorten (d.w.z. soorten die inheems zijn in het gebied) en staat sinds 1979 op de Werelderfgoedlijst van UNESCO.<\/p>\n

9. Het millenniumkruis:<\/strong>\u00a0Het Millenniumkruis is een 66 meter hoog kruis dat op de top van de berg Vodno in Skopje staat. Het werd in 2002 opgericht om het 2000-jarig bestaan van het christendom in Macedoni\u00eb en de wereld te herdenken.<\/p>\n

10. Mavrovo-meer:<\/strong>\u00a0Het Mavrovo meer is een van de populairste toeristische attracties in Macedoni\u00eb. Het ligt op een hoogte van 1000 meter en ongeveer 100 km van Skopje. In het midden van het meer staat een half verzonken kerk, wat bijdraagt aan de populariteit van het meer.<\/p>\n
