MAP OF SKOPJE
Skopje , Macedonian: Скопје ; Albanian: Shkup) is the capital and largest city of North Macedonia. It is the country's political, cultural, economic, and academic centre.
The territory of Skopje has been inhabited since at least 4000 BC; remains of Neolithic settlements have been found within the old Kale Fortress that overlooks the modern city centre. Originally a Paeonian city, Scupi became the capital of Dardania in the second century BC. On the eve of the 1st century AD, the settlement was seized by the Romans and became a military camp. When the Roman Empire was divided into eastern and western halves in 395 AD, Scupi came under Byzantine rule from Constantinople. During much of the early medieval period, the town was contested between the Byzantines and the Bulgarian Empire, whose capital it was between 972 and 992.
From 1282, the town was part of the Serbian Empire, and acted as its capital city from 1346 to 1371. In 1392, Skopje was conquered by the Ottoman Turks, who called it Üsküb (اسکوب). The town stayed under Ottoman control for over 500 years, serving as the capital of the pashasanjak of Üsküp and later the Vilayet of Kosovo. In 1912, it was annexed by the Kingdom of Serbia during the Balkan Wars.[7] During the First World War the city was seized by the Kingdom of Bulgaria, and, after the war, it became part of the newly formed Kingdom of Yugoslavia as the capital of Vardarska Banovina. In the Second World War the city was again captured by Bulgaria and in 1945 became the capital of SR Macedonia, a federated state within the Yugoslavia. The city developed rapidly, but this was interrupted in 1963 when it was hit by a disastrous earthquake.
Skopje is on the upper course of the Vardar River, and is on a major north–south Balkan route between Belgrade and Athens. It is a centre for metal-processing, chemical, timber, textile, leather, and printing industries. Industrial development of the city has been accompanied by development of the trade, logistics, and banking sectors, as well as an emphasis on the fields of transportation, culture and sport. According to the last official census from 2021, Skopje had a population of 422,540 inhabitants in its urban area and 526,502 in ten municipalities that form the city and, beside Skopje, include many other less urbanized and rural settlements some of which are 20 km (12 mi) away from the city itself or even border the neighbouring Kosovo. Skopje was first divided into administrative units in 1945, but the first municipalities were created in 1976. They were five: Centar, Čair, Karpoš, Gazi Baba and Kisela Voda. After the independence of the Republic of Macedonia, power was centralized and municipalities lost much of their competences. A 1996 law restored them and created two new municipalities: Ǵorče Petrov and Šuto Orizari. After the insurgency between Albanian rebels and Macedonian forces in 2001, a new law was enacted in 2004 to incorporate Saraj Municipality into the City of Skopje. Saraj is mostly populated by Albanians and, since then, Albanians represent more than 20% of the city population. Thus Albanian became the second official language of the city administration, something which was one of the claims of the Albanian rebels. The same year, Aerodrom Municipality separated itself from Kisela Voda, and Butel Municipality from Čair.
Municipalities are administered by a council of 23 members elected every four years. They also have a mayor and several departments (education, culture, finances...). The mayor primarily deals with these departments.

Šuto Orizari As the capital and largest city of North Macedonia, Skopje has many major sporting facilities. The city has three large swimming pools, two of which feature Olympic pools. These pools are particularly relevant to coaching water polo teams. Skopje also boasts many football stadiums, like Ilinden in Čair and Železarnica, which can accommodate between 4,000 and 4,500 spectators. The basketball court Kale can accommodate 2,200 people and the court of Jane Sandanski has a 6,000 seat capacity.
The Toše Proeski Arena
The largest stadium remains Toše Proeski Arena. The stadium, built in 1947 and named until 2008, City Stadium Skopje experienced a total renovation, begun in 2009 to meet the standards of FIFA. Fully renovated the stadium contains 33,460 seats, and a health spa and fitness area. The Boris Trajkovski Sports Center is the largest sports complex in the country. It was opened in 2008 and named after former president Boris Trajkovski, who died in 2004. It includes rooms dedicated to handball, basketball and volleyball and host 6,250 seats, a bowling alley, a fitness area and an ice hockey court. Its main hall, which regularly hosts concerts, holds around 10,000 people.

IL REGNO DEGLI ZINGARI - la città dove comandano i Rom ????????
Vicino a Skopje, la capitale della Macedonia del Nord, si trova una città unica al mondo. Si chiama Shuto Orizari, o anche detta: IL REGNO DEI ROM!
• SPONSOR EPISODIO: Vai su per acquistare 2 anni di NordVPN con uno sconto esclusivo + 4 mesi extra
Qui, il sindaco è Rom, i giornali sono in lingua Rom, c'è un canale tv Rom, la lingua ufficiale è il romanì e hanno anche la loro bandiera.
Questo episodio sarà la porta d'ingresso in un mondo di cui sappiamo molto poco, e molto spesso quel poco è anche sbagliato.
Sono andato a trovare i cittadini di Shuto Orizari per imparare le tradizioni e la cultura romani, ma soprattutto per iniziare a rompere i pregiudizi sugli zingari.
Dopo questa esperienza il mio desiderio sarebbe quello di visitare un campo Rom in Italia. Se qualcuno di voi volesse invitarmi, vi lascio la mia mail: info@progettohappiness.com
Buona visione!❤

Running with the Refugees 10/12 - SKOPJE
support us on patreon:
or simply buy us a coffee on ko-fi:
We arrive with the dawn. Skopje.
There’s a rumor of hundreds and hundreds of statues being recently built in Skopje. People don’t seem to like them. They say they are ugly and too much everywhere. Well, they really are around the town in a never seen quantity, but we liked it. It’s crazy, yes, but cool, even really cool, we think.
All in all a very cheerful morning atmosphere in Skopje.
Kaja’s mom knows a guy in Skopje too, but it’s too early in the morning to contact him. We come to the old center, a very pretty place, and there we see an old guy just opening a tea shop. It’s cold outside and we are sleepy so we ask him to wait inside until he makes the tea and other preparations. He’s fine with that, but it takes him an hour and a half to make the tea.
Ah, what a tea!
We contact that guy, his name is Vladimir, me meet him in the center. He takes us to his home, we meet the rest of his family, take showers. And sleep for 22 hours…
When we wake up we take a bus to Shutka, a gypsy town in the outskirts of Skopje, the biggest gypsy town in the world, some 15000 gypsies in one place. The plan is to go to Shutka ask the gypsies what they think about the refugees and the refugee crisis.
It’s a rainy day. It takes some half hour to come there.
Shutka is not a nice place. It’s much less romantic then one would imagine. It’s basically built in an enormous pile of garbage.
Raif is particularly disappointed.
But as any other place in the world, Shutka also has a center, so we sit there to have a burger. Not a nice burger.
Later we meet a woman called Fatma and we come to her house for a coffee. She lives with her husband and six kids in a small house without electricity or running water. She tells us that the refugees get on her nerves because the government is now helping them, and for gypsy people they do nothing. But she doesn’t want to say bad things, knowing how difficult it is for refugees. She was also a refugee twenty years ago, in Bosnia. There she had a nice house, her children were born there, but then she got deported back to Macedonia with a promise from some party that they will help roma people if they vote for them on governmental elections. So she voted, the party won, but help never came. Now she plans to go to France to visit her oldest daughter who got married there.
It gets dark, so we say goodbye to Fatma and the kids and take their phone number to stay in contact. We go to Vladimir’s place, pick up our stuff and say goodbye to our hosts and head for the bus station. There we wait for the bus, making ourselves cozy already used to living on the stations.
OTOSTOPÇU JAPON TÜRKİYEYİ GEZİYOR - Makedonya / Ohrid
OTOSTOP ile TÜRKİYEYİ GEZEN JAPON - Makedonya / Ohrid
Çöpten yemiş, sokakta kalmış. Yolculuğunun gerektirdiği ve getirdiği her şeyi yapmış... Makedonya Ohrid şehrindeyim. Hostelde Trabzon forması giymiş bir Japon ile tanıştım. Japonya Sapporo'dan yola çıkmış ve İpek Yolunu izliyor. Türkiye'de Türkçe öğrenmiş. Çok ilginç bir sohbet yaptık. Sonrasında ise Makedonya ülkesinin Ohrid şehrini geziyorum. UNESCO Dünya Mirası listesine alınıp koruma altına giren Ohrid şehri ve Ohrid gölüne yakından bakıyoruz. Balkanların incisi denilen Ohrid şehrinin sakinliği ve güzelliği, Ohrid gölünün yüzeyine vurmuş sanki... Videonun sonunda ise Makedonya ve Makedon mutfağından bahsediyoruz. Ohrid gölü alabalığını deniyoruz ve Ohrid'li bir arkadaşımız, bize geleneksel Makedon yemeklerini anlatıyor.

DENTRO LA BARACCOPOLI PIÙ GRANDE DELL'ASIA - Il formicaio di Mumbai????????
A #mumbai si trova una baraccopoli unica al mondo, quella di Dharavi, o come viene spesso soprannominata: il formicaio umano di Mumbai.
???? ➡Un ringraziamento speciale allo sponsor di questo viaggio in India: NordVPN. Nel link trovate uno sconto esclusivo per la nostra community.
A #dharavi vivono circa 2 milioni di persone in un'area ridottissima, e ciò che li contraddistingue è che la maggior parte sono piccoli imprenditori. Qui nessuno chiede l'elemosina, qui ci si guadagna la vita trovandosi o inventandosi un lavoro.
Sono entrato dentro questa slum per documentare i suoi forti contrasti, ma soprattutto, come in ogni missione, per scoprire cosa rende felice le persone che vivono qui dentro.
Buona visione!❤

-ENGLISH-
On a sunny Sunday, I'm in Skopje, the capital of North Macedonia.
I want to have spontaneous conversations with the people in the country so that I can get to know Macedonian culture and socialize with the locals.
For this, my Macedonian friend Stefan and I come to the park in the city center, where the locals conjugate on the weekend.
The country declared its independence from Yugoslavia in 1991 under the name Republic of Macedonia. It was recognized by the United Nations in 1993. The Macedonian and Greek governments reached an agreement to change the name of the country to North Macedonia on 12 June 2018.
Lots of love to you all :)
Thanks for being here on my journey.

Bu haftaki bölümde Makedonya'nın başkenti Üsküp'teyim.
Makedon kültürünü tanımak, ve halkla biraz olsun kaynaşabilmek adına, çevredeki insanlarla doğaçlama sohbet etmek istiyorum. Bunun için Makedon arkadaşım Stefan'la beraber, haftasonu yerel halkın akın ettiği, şehir merkezindeki parka geliyoruz.
Ülke, 1991’de Yugoslavya'dan bağımsızlığını Makedonya Cumhuriyeti adıyla ilan etti. Birleşmiş Milletler tarafından 1993’de tanındı. Makedon ve Yunan hükûmetleri, 12 Haziran 2018'de ise ülkenin adının Kuzey Makedonya olarak değiştirilmesi konusunda anlaşmaya vardı.

A Gypsy Poet's Quest to Document the Romani Language (Shutka, Macedonia)
The so-called Gypsies, or Roma people, can lay claim to what might be the most well traveled oral tradition on the planet. But rarely has their rich language been preserved on paper. Enter Roma poet Muzafer Bislim, who has spent nearly 40 years committing it to paper. The project, not an entirely scientific one, began during his travels through Eastern Europe and the former Yugoslav republic in the seventies as a singer-songwriter. He keeps the handwritten results stashed away in his home in Shutka, Macedonia.

Producers: Meshakai Wolf, Pierre Chopinaud, & Gregory Scarborough
Cinematographer: Kosta Asmanis
Translators: Denis Durmish & Nevsija Durmish

This film is edited from footage shot for Meshakai Wolf's feature documentary Flames of God (2011).
ÜSKÜP TÜRK ÇARŞISI - MAKEDONYA
Makedonya ülkesinin başkenti Üsküp şehrinde bulunan Türk çarşısı içinde ve civarını göreceğimiz bu videoda, genel olarak Üsküp şehrini, yani Makedonca ismi Skopje olan tarihi Osmanlı şehrini geziyoruz. Makedonya'ya vizesiz giriş yapılıyor ve gerçekten çok güzel yerler var. Üsküp bunlardan birisi. Üsküp'te konuşulan Türkçe'ye sık sık rastlamak zor değil çünkü Arnavutlar ve Türkler Üsküp nüfusunun Makedonlar haricinde büyük bir kısmını oluşturuyor. Türkiye dışında bahsi geçen en büyük Türk çarşısı olduğu söyleniyor.
