Macedonian Human Rights Movement International demands the immediate nullification of the "Prespa Agreement", the US/Western-imposed treaty which illegally and forcibly changed Macedonia's name into the highly derogatory "North Macedonia" in 2019, and in contravention of Macedonian and international law, multiple international human rights conventions, the Macedonian Constitution, and rules of Parliament. Full details are below. Nullifying this illegal treaty will return Macedonia's name and guarantee its right to self-determination.

Fighting to restore our Macedonian name, identity, and history and funding human rights projects throughout all of partitioned Macedonia are not charitable by law. But, is this a prerequisite before you help?

Bulgaria's official state policy continues to be the outright denial of the existence of the Macedonian minority, as well as of Macedonian identity, language, culture and history as a whole. It is this denial, along with the West's full endorsement of Bulgaria's anti-Macedonian policies, that has led to a dramatic rise in hatred and human rights violations against Macedonians in Bulgaria.

Why? Because I’m a human rights activist and I get in the way of U.S. foreign policy. Your tax dollars well spent. And you thought that USAID’s purpose was foreign aid and humanitarian assistance. Then again, Americans are used to pumping money into the U.S. foreign interventionist and war machine and not minding that they suffer—and cause tremendous suffering—for it.

Ten years ago, the Macedonian Association Ilinden - Tirana was admitted into the Federal Union of European Nationalities (FUEN), which is the largest minority organization in Europe. The Macedonian Association Ilinden - Tirana was the first minority organization from the Republic of Albania to become a full member of the FUEN.  

Macedonians in Pirin Macedonia gathered on April 27, 2025 in Melnik and Rozhen for their annual commemoration in honour of Macedonian leader Jane Sandanski – murdered 110 years ago by an order of the Bulgarian government – despite an intimidation and provocation campaign by Bulgarian media and authorities. They used threats that last year’s fierce crackdown on Macedonians would be repeated, which included attacks on freedom of expression, mass harassment by police and Bulgarian ultranationalists, surveillance and breaches of privacy, police checkpoints lining all routes leading to the commemoration amid further harassment, and threats of violence.

I am a human rights activist and advocate for my country— Macedonia — and for its language and its culture. To the American taxpayer, you have probably never heard of me. You might not know much about Macedonia or even be able to find it on a map. But here's one thing you have a right to know: Millions of your taxpayer dollars were spent to foment a political crisis in my country, to overthrow its government, and even to defame me personally.

Posters demanding the end of the forced name change into "North Macedonia" and the return of Macedonia's real name have spread throughout Macedonia. Photos below and on our social media pages and website. The English translation of the message is: An illegal law is not law. No more excuses. Our Name Is MACEDONIA. The "Prespa Agreement" can easily be terminated.

Macedonian Human Rights Movement International (MHRMI) is funding the legal defence for MAEI in this crucial case affecting the survival of the Macedonian minority in Albania and will also fund MAEI’s countersuit and lawsuits against those who attack the Macedonian minority.

This is what I’m thinking: Was Canada ever an independent country? All American politicians treat Canada like a dependent (and Canadian politicians allow it), but Trump is the first one to say it so bluntly — so don’t shoot the messenger (literally). The easy solution — especially when it comes to foreign policy — is, ready for it? Stop allowing it.
