Macedonia
"Denes Nad Makedonija" (Today Over Macedonia)

Words by: Vlado Maleski
Music by: Todor Skalovski
Adopted: 1991

The national anthem of Macedonia (referring to the former Yugoslavian republic, and not the neighbouring Greek province of the same name) was created in 1943 by Vlado Maleski, a poet from Struga. It was adopted as the anthem of the Republic of Macedonia upon its establishment after World War II for a few months. The song was later selected to be the anthem of the newly independent Republic of Macedonia in 1991.

Important editor note: The use of the terms "Macedonia" and "Macedonian" on this (and related) pages is not to imply an official position on the naming dispute between this nation and Greece.
