🇲🇰 Happy Ilinden and Day of the Republic, Macedonia!

Today, August 2nd, we commemorate two historic milestones that shaped the soul of our nation: the Ilinden Uprising of 1903, when brave revolutionaries rose against Ottoman rule and declared the Kruševo Republic, and the first ASNOM Assembly in 1944, which laid the foundation for the modern Macedonian state.

This day is more than a holiday, it’s a tribute to the enduring spirit of resistance, unity, and the ongoing fight to preserve our Macedonian national identity, language, and cultural heritage.

🇲🇰 Среќен Илинден и Ден на Републиката, Македонијо!

Денес, 2 август, одбележуваме два историски пресвртници што ја обликуваа душата на нашата нација: Илинденското востание од 1903 година, кога храбрите револуционери се кренаа против османлиската власт и ја прогласија Крушевската Република, и Првото собрание на АСНОМ во 1944 година, кое ги постави темелите на модерната македонска држава.

Овој ден е повеќе од празник, тој е почит кон трајниот дух на отпор, единство и континуираната борба за зачувување на нашиот македонски национален идентитет, јазик и културно наследство.
