It may well be a sinister method of denying knowledge to Macedonians. But it may also be Macedonians thinking they're in the EU already and can charge accordingly. Either way, it's pathetic.

If I were the authors I would make the books available online for free seeing that no one will buy them now.
They have also put a price hike on the books relating to UDBA documents.
It all occurred when the Macedonian Archives director position was given to Kiril Petrov close to SDS.
New Director of the Archives Kiril Petrov
Ever since SDS instilled their own man (there were reports DUI wanted their own person as a director) that there was even some pro Albanian books released such as the popis/defter of Zajas Ahmeti's village written by Muzafer Bislimi.
Another book released this year by the same author was Secret service docs of the army of the Kingdom of SHS - Jugoslavija for the Kosovo committee 1924 - 1941. Why the fuck would the Macedonian archives promote a book about Kosovo let alone publish it?
Mind you.... they're cheaper too, wouldn't want to deter people buying pro Albanian books in Macedonia.

The new pro Albanian books and less sensitive books are priced accordingly.Verata vo Mislite, VMRO vo dushata, Makedonia vo Srceto.

If you look at this from the narrative of Prespa agreement, then you would have to assume its intentional. If you have made promises to Greece to disown your ancient history, and agreements with Bulgaria to abandon your revolutionary history, then this would a good way for those ideas and knowledge to slowly die off. Look at how the ventilator slowly become the "Macedonian" flag. The usage of our real flag is all but dead in Macedonia, all in the span of only 25 years. So in 25 years Alexander the Great and Goce Delcev will be Greek and Bulgarian without question and no one will remember sneaky little moves like this one that helped make it so.

Another side note, there was an ilinden dance recently that i went to in Melbourne on Saturday. The whole reception was decked out in Macedonian sun flags and heaps of young patriotic guys attended.
I'll post a separate post with pics of the event.Verata vo Mislite, VMRO vo dushata, Makedonia vo Srceto.

Oh the Diaspora is completely different. Its the same here in the USA, the original flag is used almost exclusively. Our two churches and monastery in NJ don't have a ventilator anywhere on the premises.
The Republic though is a whole different story, especially with the youth sadly.

With social media (Even though it does more damage than good) we can actually educate the new generation.
Check out this video, disregard the one ventilator though haha
