Мултикулурализмот на Балканот: неопходен ли е тој? Употреба на поимот во балкански контекст
Multiculturalims in the Balkans: Is it Necessary? The Use of the Term in the Context of the Balkans

Summary/Abstract: “People of different religious and ethnic backgrounds, especially the youth in the lower flow of the River Radika, have become closer by getting to know the customs, traditions and traditional clothes in this region.” These are the opening lines of the “Multicultural Lower Radika” project description, a project sponsored by the Open Society Institute-Macedonia and the Belgian Roi Baudouin foundation. We also learn from the description that the project is located in the villages of “Rostuše and Bituše, in the lower flow of the River Radika, western Macedonia.” The initiative is undoubtedly a noble one, provided it implies that the reciprocal familiarisation with the folk traditions would inspire more tolerance among people with different languages and traditions. Its efficiency may be debated but what is more interesting here is the very use of the term “multicultural.”
