Summary/Abstract: Rosůlek, Přemysl. Albánci a Makedonská republika (1991–2014). Prague: Libri, 2015, 395 pp., ISBN 978-80-7277-326-2.The reviewer thoroughly analyses this publication, which is devoted to the development of ethnic relations in Macedonia since the beginning of the 1990s. Though the author, according to the reviewer, has worked with a large base of sources and has done serious research, the result does not really reflect that effort. The reviewer points out a number of mistakes in interpretations and facts, as well as imprecision stemming from a general lack of truly understanding the wider historical context of the complicated problems of ethnic developments in this region.
