Are Bulgarians Albanians?
Albanians (Bulgarian: албанци, albantsi) are a minority ethnic group in Bulgaria (Albanian: Bullgaria). Although according to the 2011 census they only numbered 220, their number in the Bulgarian lands was much larger in the past. Afterwards they were fully assimilated in the neighboring Bulgarian communities.

The Albanian Armed Forces (Albanian: Forcat e Armatosura të Republikës së Shqipërisë (FARSH)) are the military of Albania and were formed after the declaration of independence in 1912. Today, it consists of the General Staff, the Albanian Land Force, Albanian Air Force and the Albanian Naval Force.
Which country is better Macedonia or Albania?
It’s quite hard to have a meatless meal in Macedonia, whereas I found Albania a much more vegetarian-friendly country (I’m not a vegetarian but prefer to have a mix of meat-eating days and meat-free days). While both Macedonia and Albania have Greek and Roman ruins, I’d have to give the edge to Albania for having the more impressive set of them.
How many kilometers of coastline does Macedonia have?
And luckily, with 476 kilometers of coastline snaking up and down the beautiful Adriatic and Ionian Sea, you’ll have plenty of choices. While Macedonia has beautiful Lake Ohrid, which is beautiful in its own right, it’s not quite the same as the Albanian Riviera, which is one of Europe’s most stunning coastlines.
What are some of the most famous churches in Macedonia?
The Church of St. John at Kaneo is an Ohrid icon, and one of the most famous churches in all of the Balkans. Macedonia also has a significant number of ethnic Albanians who are part of the Muslim faith, and for that reason, there are a lot of beautiful mosques in Macedonia as well.
What to see and do in Macedonia?
Macedonia also has a large number of Yugoslav spomeniks, which are abstract sculptures created typically in memorial of a loss or battle. One of the most famous spomeniks of all can be found outside of Kruševo, but you can find more on the Spomenik Database. Want to visit a Macedonian winery?
