In this brief video you can find seven little known facts about Macedonia.
More information about the video content bellow:
1. Ohrid Lake in Macedonia is the oldest and one of the deepest lakes in Europe (max depth 288m). It is estimated 4 million years old and has 200 endemic species that haven’t been found at any other place in the world. It was declared a World Heritage site by UNESCO in 1979.
2. Macedonia is the only country that got independence from Yugoslavia without shedding a single drop of blood. It remained entirely at peace at the heat of Yugoslav wars in early 1990s and got independence from Yugoslavia in 1991.
3. The country of Macedonia has more number of mountains and mountain peaks than any other country in the world. The country has as many as 34 mountain peaks, each with a height of more than 2,000 meters above the sea-level; with Mount Golem Karb being the highest at 2,753 meters above sea-level. Most peaks in Macedonia have never been visited by people.
4. The city of Skopje, the capital of Macedonia, severely suffered from the Great Turkish War at the end of the 17th century and consequently experienced recession until the 19th century. In 1689, Austrians seized Skopje which was already weakened by a cholera epidemic. The same day, general Engelberto d'Ugo Piccolomini set fire to the city to end the epidemic. It is however possible that he wanted to avenge damages that Turks caused in Vienna in 1683. Skopje burned during two days.
5. The Millennium Cross is a 66 metre-high cross situated on the top of the Vodno Mountain in Skopje, and it is the biggest cross in the world. It was constructed to serve as a memorial of 2,000 years of Christianity in Macedonia and the world.
6. Television in Macedonia began in 1964 when Television Skopje began. It is now known as Macedonian Television, or Makedonska Televisija (MTV). It operates three television channels for Macedonia and one satellite channel which broadcasts to other countries.
7. Since becoming an independent nation in 1991, Macedonia has had two flags. Both its first flag and the current flag feature a yellow sun on a red background. The first version, pictured left, was based on a symbol found on ancient tombstones discovered in 1977 in the town of Vergina. However, Vergina is in Greek Macedonia and Greece decided to claim that they owned the copyright to use the symbol. They even went as far as blocking trade with the Republic of Macedonia and forced the UN headquarters in New York to take down the Macedonian flag. As a compromise, and to restart trading with their Greek neighbours, Macedonia changed its flag to its current one from 1995.

Прва забава оваа сезона со бенд на врвот на Водно. Мало потсетување за некого беше тоа, како тоа изгледаше некогаш во живо. Бенд со музика од ЈУ просторите, со музика од ова време и со музика создадена во дамнешно минато. Пат околу светот од врвот на Водно само за оние кои се качија, упорните, брзите, бестрашните. Сите кои се откажаа, беше оправдано поради циклонот што прошиша само до пола Скопје и потоа се врати кај карпите на Матка.
Голема благодарност до СИТЕ кои дојдоа, специјано нашите подржувачи и најголема благодарност до профи бендот Decibell создаден од прекрасни луѓе.
