    Vladimir Gligorov (Kiro's Son)

    From his wikipedia:

    Vladimir Gligorov (Serbian and Macedonian Cyrillic: Владимир Глигоров) (born 1945) is a prominent economist and was a founder of the Democratic Party in Serbia in December 1989. He is the son of the first President of the Republic of Macedonia, Kiro Gligorov.

    Gligorov is Professor at the Vienna Institute for International Economic Studies.




    Would this be some sort of proof that Kiro may have been a bit pro serbian in his views? Strange that the son of the first prime minister of macedonia was one of the founders of a serbian party after the break up of Yugoslavia and before macedonia got its independance from serbia...

    The "Democratic Party" was founded in the days of Yugoslavia (16 months BEFORE the beginning of its' breakup) and was a Yugoslavian Party, not a Serbian one.

      From what I can see on Wikipedia, the Democratic Party headquarters were in Belgrade. All the presidents, leaders and ideology were Serbian orientated.

      BBS makes a good point how the first president of an Independent Macedonia's son was a founder of this association.

      Remember Amphipolis, even though there was a Yugoslavia, there was a clearly defined consciousness of who was a Serbian, Macedonian, Croatian etc.

      One practical example of the former Yugoslav government attempts to dilute the separate consciousness was a Macedonian would serve in the army but not in Macedonia in Serbia or Croatia. And vice versa Croatians would come and serve in Macedonia. This is no matter how close an army barracks was to someone’s home.

      Given Kiro's son's affiliations it may be understandable why Kiro was soft on the issue facing Macedonia at the time. In hindsight he was the wrong man for the job.
