The People:" We are friends to everyone"

The Macedonians are in transition - but then again, they had always been in transition. People feel that changes are out of their hands. Everyone seemed to be waiting for something to improve their situation.

That winter, there was a sense of depression in Skopje
or was it just that the people are so quiet?
Or maybe it was her premonition of her own personal tragedy - she couldn't tell.

Although the borders of Macedonia have been shrinking through the centuries, the people are very kind and miroljubi.
They would prefer not to fight.

In fact, Macedonia is the only country to have gained independance from Yugoslavia without bloodshed -
And they are still friends.
(Macedonia's relationship with Greece is a different matter. )

The Macedonians didn't seem worried that there was war across the border on the other side of the mountains in Kosovo... that Balkan history was repeating itself.
