MACEDONIAN NATIONAL ANTHEM - DENES NAD MAKEDONIJA


The author of the text is Vlado Maleski, and author of the music Todor Skalovski. It was written in 1941. After the end of the Second World War, it was adopted as a hymn of SR Macedonia within the former Yugoslavia, and after the independence of the Republic of Macedonia, on August 11, 1992, it was declared an anthem of independent Macedonia. Over time, the text of the anthem has undergone various changes, with three versions of it - today's version, the original anthem and the first official anthem performed differing from the first in just one line. In terms of the original text of 1941, the names of Nikola Karev and Dimitar Vlahov have been omitted, and the name of Dame Gruev  has been added.
