Vevcani carnival 2012 Вевчански карневал [04:45]
One of the most famous village festivals held in the Balkans is the Vevcani Carnival. It is believed that the custom is over 1400 years old. It is based on old Pagan beliefs and rituals. Essentially the Carnival is the ritual of calling after Saint Basil the Great, which coincides with the Twelve Days of Orthodox Christmas and the Orthodox New Year. The festivity is held on the 13th and 14th of January every year The participants of the Carnival are known as Vasilicari. 14 January 2012 (MIA) - A group mask created by the inhabitants of Vevcani reflecting Macedonian-Greek relations was the most talked about mask among visitors of this year's Vevcani Carnival. Other masks included US president Barack Obama, a "Flying to Europe" mask, the hand of VMRO-DPMNE, etc. Scenes from cowboy movies were re-enacted and Tito's Pioneers, Muslim priests, dead people paraded through the village of Vevcani. This year, Macedonian politicians were spared, there were no masks making fun of any local politician. Opening the carnival, Culture Minister Elizabeta Kanceska-Milevska said all well-intentioned visitors with a carnival spirit were part of an unique satire reminding us of events and persons who had marked 2011.

Skopje MACEDONIA Alexander the Great Airport [06:21]
Skopje Alexander the Great Airport opens the doors to its brand new terminal 06-09-2011 Today, a new chapter in the history of Skopje Alexander the Great Airport begins as it opens the doors to its brand new terminal. The multi million Euro project took just over a year to complete and will allow FYR Macedonia's capital to have the most modern airport facilities in the former Yugoslavia. The new terminal at Skopje Airport is ten times the size of the current terminal building, which was built in 1987 and will be closed as of tomorrow. The new terminal stretches over two levels and 40.100 square metres. Besides the new terminal the runway has been lengthened in order to accommodate larger aircraft. Furthermore, millions have been invested into supporting infrastructure such as access roads, a car park and an administrative office building. The development of the new terminal was made possible by the Turkish airport operator, TAV Holdings, which took over the management of both Skopje and Ohrid airports from the government in early 2010. As a result, attending today's opening ceremony of the new terminal will be the Turkish Prime Minister, Turkish government officials and businessmen. The opening ceremony will take place this afternoon at 13.30 CEST. TAV will now begin work in other fields to improve the airport's offering. The company will soon begin the construction of a new web page for both Skopje and Ohrid airports and will work with the Skopje public transport company ...
