Eminent Serbian
Byzantologist, university professor Radivoj Radić, who specialized
Byzantine studies in Dumbarton Oaks (USA)
and who is known for his sharp criticism of “ethnocentric
historiography” produced by self-proclaimed historians, states some
facts on FYROM and the new “Macedonian Issue”. Point-by-point,
Radić distances himself from the trend in FYROM's pseudo-history
(which, unlike in Serbia, has official, state-sanctioned status of
national ideology since 1991 and especially since 2006, after victory
of far-right) to link the main ethnic group in that state with
Macedonians of classical antiquity as well as with Macedonia in
Byzantine era. He illustrates with one example regarding Alexander
the Great's personal name how pseudo-historians, due to their
linguistic illiteracy, create wrong etymology as basis for
“nationalist” and ethnocentric pseudo history, which is popular
in some peripheral political circles in
Serbia.
Radić's criticism of FYROM's anti-academic and far-right history
manipulation, as well as expansionist designs by FYROM's militant
diaspora is devastating and based on contemporary academic consensus.
