Filip Stojanovski

Chris Deliso, a travel writer and founder and director of Balkanalysis.com writes in an oped in Today's Zaman about the mutual fondness between citizens of Macedonia and Turkey, which is there despite the fact that one century ago, “Macedonia suffered tremendously during anti-Ottoman rebellions.” He sees potential for using the good will, alongside the shared cultural and archaeological heritage, in various beneficial areas, from jump-starting tourism to promoting European integration of the whole region.
