Summary/Abstract: Engin’s is what I call the “post-pechalba” generation of contemporary Macedonia. Its life-style expresses the need to bring global culture to “the biggest village” when emigration to distant metropoles is no longer feasible. The (un) civil war in Bosnia, moreover, has resulted in Western European visum restrictions on Macedonian citizens. The Republic of Macedonia is probably more landlocked today than ever in its modern history. The maintenance of Prespa-centred global networks through the electronic media is supplanting the traditional culture of migration.
