Summary/Abstract: The article examines historically the emergence and development of the so-called Macedonian question/s, which appear/s to have multiple dimensions and should not be viewed as contiguous single problem or issue. Obviously, this is a complex matter that must be addressed from different points of view. However, it is unlikely that we will find a solution ourselves, even if we read every book that has been written about the/se issue/s. We deem an approach to this issue adequate for the purpose of examining the reasons behind the behaviour of each of Macedonia’s neighbours separately (Bulgaria, Greece, Serbia, Albania, etc.) as opposed to their interests. Perhaps, these issues will remain forever unresolved until all participants accept any solution without “complaints”.
