PREFACE
In the beginning will note that this is a wonderful
whole area of priceless Kichevijata called Kopacka. Of
these spaces play and dance Kopacka, as in
other parts of Macedonia. This area is a separate entity with
more high mountains that have been patron of the Macedonian
people in the past. The villages are located mostly on the terraces
Sea of nekokogashnoto later Kicevo lake. Gorges
starting from the sources of Ivanechka river Ehloechka River and
Pit river to the village Source. Here merge with larger
leads to the source of the River Fever, creating the famous
past Great (Great) River, River Fever today. In
her long time River Fever collect all rivers that
plum tree in it. The character of the space is created Kopacka
after the big regression (withdrawal of water) in the Jurassic
period. From the high mountains, peaks, which are accumulated in
withdrawal of the lake created fertile ground. For
humus country contributed old oak and beech trees.
It today do, only we do not see, and receive
a blessing of nature. One is the glory Kopacka and such will
stay. There Macedonian spirit and patriotism floats and today
the whole area. Each leaf of the tree, every flower, every grass
and each stone is imbued with the Macedonian spirit. That spirit
continue
if you want your root you be healthy and alive always.
In my early childhood I was preoccupied with many things
I wanted to know and to explain. In the first school
days in my head spinning countless questions unanswered.
Whenever I return home is something we asked.
The answer I got from my grandfather: Sooner you for such things
there
time will increase. In the seventies of the twentieth century with I
notebook in hand, I went for the old grandparents who had
over eighty years of age, inquiring for many
works. In those years are interested in nature, especially me
interested in the creation of ravines, mountains, just

said geological processes. In addition most of all me


attracted knowledge for themselves and for my country
Macedonia.
I wanted to know everything about my suffering Macedonian
people. Necessarily
was the question posed in the moments when I went
through the space of the old village Ivanchishte. I see the sky
blue, endlessly, like watching the sea and the horizon only
escapes. I think anywhere no beginning or end. In those
times people were not as alienated as now. I attended the
celebrating holidays. Companionship was a cure for severe village
or urban working days. I was then friendship
sincere and true. In the villages of Kopacka, Kicevska celebrate
more religious celebrated. The most exciting was always and still
is
Twelfth glory. For this religious glory in to the Kichevijata
to. The glory days of old grandparents were thirsty to
talking about the past. All spoke of the great king
Alexander of Macedonia, Tsar Samuel and others. For Saints
said: "Riste ours was very clever, love and peace to reign
slogan odbirajkji best. " They believed in their God Riste
and its Ristosova faith, Orthodox. When we talked about
past, then their face immediately changed. Plate
their old and isshareni people as a map of
suffering in the past was getting dark. I lost joy in
moments as discussed especially king Aleksandar
Macedonia or Volkasin Emperor and King Mark, they are

.
Anyone older

I collect the data for the villages that exist or are

all managed to fit in a collection that ended in 1935
year. In his writings they have accurate and reliable
data Ivanchishte village to strain Katsura-Brsjaci after birth
Macedonians. In these manuscripts were covered villages in Golo
Brdo, Gora Debarca Ohrid and normal whole Kichevija.
Described were all villages in the Mavrovo region, Mijachijata,
Prespa and elsewhere. In my soul reigned great excitement
When I read those too old manuscripts. The feeling can not be

Macedonians strain Katsura centuries until today managed
to continue their family tree leaving through the past
centuries written manuscripts. They were real keepers
Macedonian kind and Macedonia. Despite the difficult period
when
Macedonia fell under Roman administration, Macedonian
families, which is made up the core of the monarchy, were priMoran temporarily leave their country who could and who
remained unable to fight in the area of large
Macedonian kingdom. Many prominent people of that time headed
to areas of ethnic Macedonia. With these large

opportunity to learn about that strain Katsura-Brsjaci was greatly

mention strain Katsura-Brsjaci as kind of familiar, brave
fighters and cunning dervendzhii.
The space or area Kopacka always throughout history,
through millennia been as space had to pass.

had to pass through these areas. Shoe was inhabited
long ago, before the Paleolithic. No one knows when. Yet this
space is not enough unless some trials examined in flat

early twentieth century examinations taken in the old village
Ivanchishte. I hope with the help of the authorities in Macedonia
will be many secrets to light. Any kopnuvanje country

All planets have been taught by the great nebula in
unexplained large size. From Prasonceto distinguished himself

central body of the solar system and is much larger than all
planets. The set position mean that this part of
planets separated away from Prasonceto start living
own independent life. This would do a little comparison
Sun and Earth. Solar has a capacity of around one million and
three hundred thousand times zapremninata Earth.
Due to the low density of the mass of the sun is about 332 000

Many millennia people thought otherwise, and

nature, whether on earth or in heaven. Sometimes it happened
major natural disasters such as droughts, earthquakes, floods,
snow drifts, fires and other natural changes. Here you will
include the good years with large yields of grain and other
fruits needed for man to survive. Such natural
changes, people were not able to explain
or interpreted. So now in their conscience-head

gods. They began to offer to various victims, not thinking that

Without faith in ourselves or our future today can not survive

The advantage was that they at that time people were not large

says or writes that before the millennia people were ignorant.
It is not true, because they had their high intelligence.

we. I'm a big supporter of integration in those big
common clubs or countries but not at any price. I believe
that the price will be a loss of identity and obezlikeeping the people who lived here for millennia, and it
now called Macedonian people. The clearing and
solving the Macedonian question and I have nothing to
resolves Macedonia and Macedonians was left as
heirs of their country.
My goal is to cover periods in ancient times and
creation of certain changes that have taken place on
space Macedonia
especially in
Kichevijata
ie
Kopacka area which is another great micro drop
world. Every person on Earth, especially those who were more
advanced believed and were convinced that the earth is a big plate
surrounded by water that constitute the center of the universe.
Others people, people thought that the earth rests on three
huge whales which swim in the endless ocean. For Hindus
still thought that the earth rests on three elephant stood on
large turtle. The ancient Egyptians had an opinion and
interpretation of the origin of the country and the world. They are
what is
country associated with the god of air Shu, the son of God
Sun Amon-Ra. These nations it prestavile a drawing
as divides his sister Nut (sky) and brother Keban
(Country). Besides these there are other considerations, such as
strange
some people thought that the gods created the mountains
hold the sky did not fall. Aristotle in the IV century BC
Age noticed that the Earth has ball-shaped, and the Erastoton
performed the first determinations of its size. These
thoughts or interpretations advanced people the abuse

buvale to secure a better position in the divisions of


the then society. Ptolemy in the II century AD it
put his geocentric system in which Sun Mesechinaso all the planets revolve around the stationary Earth. Of
Hekateevata world map drawn in the V century BC,
borders the Mediterranean Sea were just painted, Europe
Asia and Africa are shown as a giant slabs surrounded
water. All the previous assumptions and interpretations are
retained
vaat the XVI century. Appears Copernicus coming up
revolutionary idea that the Earth revolves around their axis and
while circles the sun. The same make of
Similarly other planets for their intended paths.
Copernican idea is known as the heliocentric system, sosema opposite of Ptolomeoviot geocentric system. Unfortunately
Copernican doctrines are anathematized by Christian religious
it, but after his death this learning continued Giordano Bruno
Galileo and many others at the cost of his life. The philosopher
Bruno is anathematized by then church dignitaries
for their learning burned at the stake. In those days the church
was great and finally vlianije anything very difficult to
working on a theory of the origin of the Earth. Besides all
However difficulties with the development of scientific thought
and various
findings have come to the right position and essential
features on Earth as celestial body. Copernican idea
was outstanding contribution to his illustrious successors of
which served as a basis for further discoveries and
clarification of some issues on the creation of the Earth.
Among the first scientists was Frenchman Bifon that left 44
volumes great work, The History of Nature. He describes
creating a planetary system as a result of
sudruvanjeto Sun with another celestial body, it narekuvakji
"Comet". For today and the theory of clash of the Sun
the comet is impossible to complete because the overall
mass of a comet is more hundred thousand times smaller than

the mass of the earth. Bifon made and drawings, and therefore it
can conclude that he thought the collision with a Sun
another star similar in size. German philosopher
Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) has a reasonable hypothesis as
published in 1755. Under it he considered
matter, evenly distributed in prostorod which is
housed today's solar system, under the influence of attractive
forces and form a circular motion Sun, later all
planets
Solar system. Then philosophers interspecially not be tolerated, much as a critic of
Bifonovata hypothesis, the famous French
Mathematician
Laplast (1749-1827) eight years after the death of Bifon, in 1796
he published his book "Presentation-discovery
system for the world. " He unaware of the hypothesis of Kant, 41
year it creates a new, modern hypothesis similar to
Kant. Russian astronomers and M.Nabakov B.VoroncovVeljaminov, Laplace hypothesis show the next
way: Laplace assumed that the solar system became
the huge rotating nebula composed of incandescent gas.
Nebula had ball shape due nijzinoto turning
centifugalnata force caused splesnuvanje and alongside
it continuously separating the parts of the nebula in ramniof the Equator. Simultaneously occurred decay-sharing
Gaza string koncetrichni ring continued to
revolve around zgusnatata table in the center. Speed vrtenjeit has increased since the middle part of the nebula is
zgusnuval the sun revolved faster than the separate rings.
Laplace opinion was that it could not be, material
clusters gradually accumulated and accumulated as a stronger
thickening. From these piling have become planets. In employees
tea with Saturn is preserved-a ring around it.
The planets in our solar system
Bifonovata hypothesis collision of two parents and two stars
Kaloy-

HT and Laplast respectively without knowing one another


proposed
hypothesis that the Sun just created its system. The
hypothesis united in Kant - Laplace long termination
tence great scientific achievement. However occur and other
vrni scientists who persistently argued that this hypothesis has
many
gaps and should be abandoned because it is mathematically
supported. At that time he knew that he was one of Laplast
greatest mathematicians before. First Calculus
and total critique of Kant-Laplace hypothesis gave James Maksvel in a paper published in 1859. Later writing
Jack and developed new theories that endures today. I personally
I think it will last forever. The country is one of the smaller planets
in the solar system, which dovetail into the universal laws,
history. Would add that our grandfathers that recall
said that there Prasonce so was born the Sun had
law, the separation of the sun that has its own
development and still today hanging issue full truth
the creation of the solar system and the Earth and everything
it. A lot of money and every day work is spent on
it is better to spend in order to safeguard
Earth, its not as good nadomeslivi, someone
grant resources for the future. I am under a
my belief that one day if you find that God particle
then the whole country will run out and will be the end of the world.
The secret is not a secret if known and others. Someone once said that
write nonsense, but it is top-secret will be the end. From
written theories we know that the Earth is separated from
original nebula (Prasonce) composed of incandescent gas.
This period is the gas-phase and hot. After separation
have a capacity far greater under the influence of rotational
movement at that time lasted 4 to 5 hours a day and 24 hours
radiation of heat in space and starts to

a long period of Earth enters and hot-liquid phase
very long cooling began to form from ognoliquid mass to consolidating surface and forms a thin solid
crust. Later in the formation of the first solid crust begins
banded layers of the Earth's mass. Around the country
formed dark thick layer of gases and fine ocvrsnati zrncadust with water vapor. Later it was formed
atmosphere, water and aqueous shroud. All s processes

certainly lasted millions of years. Gas and steam fought


because it was hot down evaporation and suit up again
returning breaking down the thin crust of the earth. Time as
passed so Earth's crust cooled but fragile
places came out hot table again returned it
under cooling. All these theories is not my purpose to
evaluated. My goal is to get to the big time
land masses which had already been pending at ognotechniot internal unpaved

In continuation of the process of cooling the bark built

First separation takes place at the expiration of the magma

planetary history, after the first

created several active volcanic areas. They are not

Mineral resources in Macedonia, Shoe
Mining in Macedonia over the millennia to date
Geological-tectonic evolution permitted and allowed
our territory Macedonia to create very many
occurrences of minerals. Since BC this territory
attracted the attention of research and tech-here are occasional
exploitation of interesting materials. Remains of old
mining can be found everywhere in Macedonia. Mostly
old mining shafts, pits, slag-old remains of topilnis, various tools, instruments and devices that are used in this
time. On top of the then mining found forged
coins with the image of King Philip of Macedonia and other kings
of

gold great interest existed and decorative stone. Many
numerous monuments and buildings in contemporary cities, which
today

are extracted from the ground somewhere and more than 5 feet
deep
are built with beautiful white marble and various other types
decorative stone from Macedonia. After the collapse of the

mining fading. Going through the names of some places and
villages can be concluded that the ancient Slavs (as caressing
Historians call them) I would say that the ancient Macedonians
again return to their inherited Macedonia and knew
many of lead, probably used. Around nowshniot mine "Sasa", a tributary of the river is called the Pig

importance for every country in the world. R. Macedonia has a


development in the industry especially in the field of black and
ferrous metallurgy. Just remember that until
WWII R. Macedonia had only two

Tetovo. At that time there were several small power stations in
Veles, Bitola, Kicevo and some other places. After slavery in
freedom, R. Macedonia started from nothing, deprecated
economy now forming its capacity quickly moved
forward. R. Macedonia in their country and over it owns
large reserves of energy minerals. It is
mentioning that there are excellent conditions for manufacturing
of
renewable energy, especially when we know that we have almost
two hundred sunny days a year. There are conditions

Pool in Katlanovo, Bulacani and Laskarci. There are also
sites in Mariovo, Pehcevski Gevgelija and other
areas. In Kicevo basin near the village Oslomej determined
the largest quantities of coal. In Peripheral parts of the basin,
the villages and Popovjani Strogomishta utvdeni smaller
quantities of coal. Expected reserves of hundreds
million tons of coal. Pelagonia basin most famous
sites from the Suvi Dol and ship-Gneotino. Not far from
Zivojno village in Bac and Germijan resulted in two layers of
coal with higher quality. Pelagonia pool with additional
research will be able to specify more than one backup
billion tons of coal. The more, the conditions for
creation of coal were the same, ie coal created
with Neogene sediments in the former Lake Pelagonisko
which belonged to parts which are now in Greece. On the other
Bassett has deposits of coal high, best quality as
as Piskupstina, Struga. From Skopje pool highest

In Tikvesh coal basin contains 30% ash. The other

supporters of the theory of inorganic origin consider
impossible to produce large quantities of oil, only
the remains of extinct zhiivotni and herbs. They believe that
oil is created by carbon, mainly composed
the atmosphere at the time of the creation of the Earth's crust, as
well
today coming from inside the country with
volcanic lava. Oil today prestavuava immensely
treasure. It's hard to count all products
receive oil and its deribati are countless. Of
make various fuels, kerosene lighting, for the treatment of sheep
diseases of the legs. It is used for making dyes proivoI tested the candies and other products with the taste of strawberry,
apricot and
other fruits. If talk about the Macedonians which is produced from
oil will need thousands of pages. In R. Macedonia lot
people wonder and tested where there is oil and natural gas.
The answer is in the past decades have been made in ipituvanja
Vardar zone starting from Skopje, Kumanovo Basin
Ovce Pole and Tikvesh pool. Geological mapping,
Sediment with further examination suggests
that in these basins existed for creating so
called stem walls walls which together creates oil.
It has been proven to be created walls that could be
collectors. For this purpose pierced the deepest hole in the
Tikvesh basin between the village of Sopot and Kurti depth
of 2703 meters. In Ovchepole pool drilled three
deep holes from 1023 to 1910 meters thus confirming that
this pool is far deeper than poplitok Tikvesh pool.
When drilling the hole OP-1, which was close to the village
Erdzhelija a depth of 470 meters there was an eruption of gas
was immediately normalized and brought under control.
With ipituvanjeto during this eruption proved that the composition
of
gas was 70% nitrogen and 30% methane. The presence of methane

show that it is a gas that has oil origin.
Not far from St. Nikola was pierced hole CH-1 to
depth of 1290 meters. It is determined infiltration of salt
water, which according to chemical analysis contains
approximately 20 g of
sodium chloride per liter. Because salt water is constant
companion of oil bearings and this data shows that
this basin had favorable conditions for the creation of oil. In
recent years talk about oil in the border wire
belt of Struga region. Here I gave an opinion and
opinion of many people who are competent in this area that
netreba we are preoccupied with oil and its
exploitation. I think R. Macedonia is a country of sun, with
natural beauty and should not pollute. Long
speaking country would be smart to use memory
production of food. Earth weather cycles
will make many changes, less food will have to be
most expensive and somewhat more expensive than oil. Therefore
R. Macedonia
has splendid scenery for manufacturing food and should not be
pollute, to preserve fertile fields, pastures and forests.
Nuclear materials
The development is a key for every country and it is always
associated with
energy use. The man so poalchen
pobrazo decrease classic energy resources.
Man is forced to look for new sources such as nuclear
raw-uranium ores. Our Republic Macedonia geological
composition and structural framework created conditions for the
formation of
nuclear materials especially uranium ore. Register

more occurrences of uranium ores. Major events and bearings

Thermal waters and vapors
You never have to wonder what geologists-minerolozi water
is considered mineral resource. After its existence and way
the appearance it has all the properties of minerals.
Since its existence man water is used in various purposes,
starting from its biological maintenance, irrigation, to
energy feedstock. The thermal and mineral waters
man were known long ago. The beneficial impact

Heat can specify various processes which are taking shape
in the Earth's crust, various geochemical processes and
others. However
a single source can provide the necessary heat
creating geothermal bearings. Heat sources can
only be geological processes related to the movement of
magma from within the country. Interestingly, when
drilling geothermal bearings temperatures ranging from 200
up to 400 degrees Celsius. In R. Macedonia there are large
potential opportunities for the existence of geothermal resources

Debar bathroom Kosovrasti, spa, Katlanovo, and Negorci

replaced with coke. Today is the most economical fuel use. For
Steel making was added nickel, chromium alloying to obtain
many improved features of these steels which are dignified. That
helps the steel to increase toughness, decreases

materials do not depend on others, and Macedonia has these
conditions, I
Hardware has in Skopje. R. Macedonia has a large bearing
of iron ore. In Western Macedonia has bearings
sideritsko-shamozhickata iron ore. Most mine
is certainly a modern mine Tajmiste its region. The
mine an area with more than 16 km space. There are
meet izdanoci of ore at an altitude of more than
1600 meters, and deep drilling has discovered ore
an altitude of 1050 meters. It is interesting that in

drilling depth in certain places is determined thickness


100 meters of mineral layer. Rudic is connected to the rail
line. Mine Demir Hisar is located between the villages and
Zhvania
Slepce. Also in this mine ore is similar to mine
Tajmiste. Is created by the deposition time

Western Macedonia despite these mines are very familiar

Besides this deposit of iron ore has niklonosna and lezhishtata wedges Bojanchishte, Dradnja-Kavadarci bearings
in Prilep, Veles and others. Macedonian country is rich
foot of manganese ores. These bearings are in three separate
regions: Western Makedoniija, Vardar zone and KratovskoZletovska volcanic area. Manganese ore in Western
Macedonia created by deposition of a series of
Devonian rocks. Significant bearings on the mountain Stogovo

Macedonia is rich with manganese ore. In the Vardar Zone
known bearings Sirkovo, Skachinci and then the man and a
elsewhere. These bearings have the poor
manganese ores. Reserves are abundant in this area but
insufficiently investigated. Kratovo-Zletovska area ore is
tied to olive-zinc ores. Unlike other metals

Soil types in Kopacka
Kicevo valley is rich alluvial soils, which are
caused by sediments from rivers and their deposition in
lowland areas. These soils are very rich and suitable for
Fruit. Deluvijalnite soils are created when erosion
the hills and valleys. These soils average
modest in humus, and are prevalent in Kopacka. Soils
from crvenicata not occupy a large space in the region and
meet-tech here in some rural areas that are very rare.
Crvenicata is low in humus, she is still considered
average fertile soil. Brown soils formed under
influence of oak and beech trees. Such soils have
mostly at altitudes above 400 meters. These soils are
represented in several places in Kopacka. Brown soils
suitable for sowing rye, planting potatoes, apples, pears,
plums, cherries and other fruits. R. Macedonia is characterized
the great treasure of flora and fauna. Important
factors that contribute to the large bio-geographical
diversity specific geographical position, its

brings terrible decision-death sentence for the goats, sad. With
law all goats are slaughtered under the supervision of the
authorities and the people
Plucking hair knowing that the day is near when no meat. Of
rebelled but many were imprisoned, beaten villagers empty
sheep from goats. The rationale was that goats are destroyed
forests and were harmful to nature. After some time
peasants and citizens, all were concerned, they discovered that our
Macedonian politicians at that time in the top of the republic
were central to the idea of destroying the goats. Later
revealed that the meat in advance any of Tito and companystate robber with Macedonian pilgrim also said all villagers.
Agreed was all meat to be sent to the USSR and
African countries, the Middle East. Big mistake, sin, unishtuvanje of his people and I do not know what to use for such
fraud. Thinking only of his chair and splendor and
destroy his people is a great crime and advanced smart
countries judge-imprisonment. Because nobody has even
mentioned as
usurped power with various political mestenki. Their
names are not mentioned and the graves do not know because
secretly buried and his people do not feel like your own. The same
is
case as Hitler secretly went to Argentina and there
lived until 13 February 1962 when he died. They are not
nothing different with respect to it. Since that law is afI and my grandparents who have lost goats remained empty.
Livestock in Kopacka has a large growth in the period
after the war. Then every house had at least one chivt oxen
and cows. Beef is also a noble animal. The man many
long ago it tamed and was awarded the milk, meat, leather

which meant life. Livestock require heavy investments and


more space, more food and other things. Villages in Kopacka

Upper Kopacka still had a number of sheep and goats.
Poultry was almost equally widespread in

so both sides were satisfied.
SUMMARY OF THE VILLAGES IN Boot
Kopachka geography is composed of whole villages. Some
villages for centuries and centuries managed to survive under the
slavery of various
conquerors, oppressors, assimilatory and colonizers. Toga
passed through various turbulences, constantly having to flee
mountains to save her. That time which lasted for centuries
did not end. Another growing problem they preached the criminal
groups were potpotmognati of conquerors take them are
and ultimately burned their houses. Today it is difficult to
understand why younger generations need to respect
its species and also his home state of Macedonia.
The area Kopacka, Kicevska been inhabited since ancient times.
According to all available books written in the past there forever
lived peoples of Macedonian strains Macedonians. Claim
that were Paionians oldest and Brigitte who were part of
Macedonian tribes-people. This area many times
especially in the last years of the twentieth century was ravaged by
foundation. Stolen grain, livestock and children taken at the end
burned houses and old people who were in the villages were
tortured and killed. Unfortunately none of the major democratic
forces
was interested in these events all the premolchuvale.
Upper Kopacka had at one time deal with Ottoman
Imperia a small convenience or vassal relations provided
to pay what was agreed in gold and if necessary
more than what was agreed. Always agreed not
complied. Aram ravaged by villages and whole Kopacka
Macedonia. The askerot it does not always have supported

because you could not pay him tribute. I have told

nasamarele villagers. Army not believing in telling
Christians Macedonians took action, killing more villagers
villages and set them on fire. At that time existed and Kopacka
There were more than 35 villages. Some were large, some were
smaller and today there are only seven villages in Lower Kopacka
and eleven villages Upper Kopacka. According manuscripts
picked up in 1380 by Dmitry Katsura were 45 villages
rich in grain and livestock. It later philosopher
Maximilian Katsura, originated from the village where Ivanchishte
born, lived in several cities of ethnic Macedonia and
life ended in Ephesus. Maximilian Katsura-Brsjak are
educated in Rome. There ends medicine, his desire
was to study philosophy. His father Aris Katsura-Brsjak,
was a wealthy man, and lived in old Ivanchishte-flat. He
returned again his son Maximilian in Rome to
studied philosophy. Maximilian after works
some time in Rome and became one of najshkoluvanite
Macedonians in that period. After many years spent in Rome
Maximilian Katsura-Brsjak Rome moved to Ephesus.
It is worth mentioning that he wrote more than five languages.
In his soul still somewhat defeated him wanting to know and
Write for Macedonians and Macedonia. It described the villages of
Shoe especially village Ivanchishte, Kicheviejata, villages of
Debarca borough and Ohrid, Prespa borough to Korce
and Golo Brdo. She writes for many other villages and places an
ethnic
Macedonia. Unfortunately only a small part of the manuscripts are
stored in

private collections. Other manuscripts are considered and taken


into
Athos storage because it is considered as its own. All
manuscripts of Macedonians Kacuri- Read Brsjaci, collected by
Heritage Marco Katsura Jr. who in 1935 the processors

dzhavjanin-capitalist, because he had a foreign passport and not
let them in Macedonia. All manuscripts today
scattered around the world in private collections. Descendants of
Mark
Katsura Jr. now has in Australia, USA, Canada, Argentiof Egypt and other countries. Mark Katsura Junior-Brsjakot died
in 1945 in Australia. His grandfather Mark Katsura
died in died again in Lebanon in 1811, was born in
Ivanchishte in 1730. At times they lived in Kopacka
and egzistirsle many settlements since the time of ancient
Macedonian Empire, the Roman times to the fifteenth
century. With
After the Ottoman conquest villages were systematically destroyed
today exist only in 18 villages Kopacka, Kicevska. It is
villages in Lower and Upper Kopacka Kopachaka. These villages
egzistidown and exist today. The area of the destroyed villages
were only walls or piles of stone. It villages
Lapusnik of JAMA, angrily near Orlov stumbling Ivanechka
territory, Flat, Flat, Canon, tombs, and (all of Ivanechka
territory), Monastery (Klenoec) Old village Popoechko, inn,
Smrdeshechki Dole, Bachilishte as the Ivanechka territory.

There are many other areas that now will not mention
which have existed since the time of the ancient Macedonian
kingdom
because that part was as a critical point in the period from
Mount Korab, Stogovo there penetrated other
tribes peoples cries. Other destroyed neighborhoods, villages
Lukoec, Gradiste Malezica, these villages were destroyed by
After the Ottoman conquest, and were utvdeni such settlements
from
antiquity. All villages in Kopacka are built on the principle
tightly packed houses at gender and each gender separately. The
village Ivanchishte
is considered one of the oldest as it was last
protection zone in some ancient times. This village
experienced great displacement after the attack on the Ottomans
Katsura-Brsjacite, Macedonians from the old village Flat.

Later today Ivanchishte shape, are preseluvakji

and with a little help from the authorities is forgotten could
develop rural tourism. In the past and today Kopacka
mean disobedience, keeping their kind, custom, language, church
and
that characterized the Macedonians as a separate nation. In

every village you will find only the monuments which are listed
fallen heroes, fighters in wars of national Release
blowing and creating a state of Macedonia. We today
should be proud that in such times people are born with
great visions for the future of this country. I do not understand
why
another major democracies that govern the continent is
fear R. Macedonia. They should be proud of that one
people after so many centuries of slavery managed to create a
state.
Voodredeni circles may be thought to have been born or will
new born Philip of Macedonia and Alexander of Macedonia and
will
lose power. If they nonexistent, imposed
problems created by Greece, and not only that, then opens
wide, clean, quiet room for cooperation of the fraternal peoples of
Greece and Macedonia. Greek and Macedonian people always
helped each other, and are now helping and working together, but
stubbornness and
politics are involved. In Macedonia, no no illusions
will update the old empire it as if you mean to
ride to Mars and Nazarenko. Too bad that the worm is great
though
few bites inside apple country, fed by foreign
interests. The friendship and assistance between nations is

greatest treasure that Macedonia has with many countries and
nations. Shoe was always and still is, suitable for
rural tourism, other old houses and homes
interesting for the visitors. So I think this area needs to
Macedonia law to protect and to declare environmental
Kopacka clean zone. To prohibit any exploitation of

huge, thick forests more centennial oak and beech. They are
crucial for the existence of the springs of drinking water in the
region and perhaps beyond. According to a theory of people
you know this is the area claim that Mount Stogovo
environment with peaks descending toward Kopacka over large
Lakes-tanks of drinking water is gradually lost. Culprit
is certainly a man. At the end of this introduction will start
Kopacka
walk to existing and destroyed villages in Kopacka that
there remains a manuscript of the past. Shoe as
separate area possesses beautiful nature clean drinking water,
forests, herbs, gorges as a remnant of the former sea and
Lake later. Preserved old houses are used as
sometimes you just need to create conditions in kumunalnata

and roads. Boot has always been inhabited by strain KacuriBrsjaci and a small portion of all kinds Mijaks Macedonians. Now
live a new life in the Independent Republic of Macedonia.

The coarse and fine cattle is represented as normal for all

The alluvial soil types. The village had Pappagiannis and

Alexander III of Macedonia, the settlement was good mestopolozhba found as a military base in winter.
Village Pappagiannis
The population at that time was the strain Katsura-Brsjaci, gender
Macedonians. As long as there was a great empire Macedonia
this settlement had great progress. With the collapse of
this kingdom of Macedonia, things have changed. After a
period this area speak the winners Romans. In
the time of the Roman Empire the population had duties to
state but no some tough times as is the case in
other villages. It means unprecedented village destroyed. Between

Macedonia has Kopacka as eco area but incomplete,

Later Roman varstvo used this space

The village is like other villages with beautiful scenery,

crops, especially corn. The village Dobrenoec not new settlement
because there is an old village which was since the ancient times.
Conquerors and robbers laid waste the old village to the ground,
similar to other places in Macedonia. Back in time
Ancient royal Macedonia, these villages were full of life.
In this village is developed agriculture and animal husbandry as
characteristic of a bygone era. The village is Dobreonec
composed of native that during devastation through

their country. Here lived Macedonians strain Katsura-Brsjaci
always. Their religion was now a Christian,
Orthodox religion. It is interesting to note that according to
manuscripts village after the ravages of old village 16 years
was frozen. The water was very important for the Romans, but
never able to agree with the villagers. During

This village has today and economic progress. A few
decades without the approval of the river villages
Studencica was taken with water in Prilep, and the village and
Kicevo today remain without water. This will judge
future generations if any fair or not. I am not against
that everyone in this country should have basic living conditions,
that was attached or Kicevo. However zhitelitdze of this village
today resent the taking of water, so when they said

survivors of these villages after decades of time returned to

The name is not known exactly how obtained, presumably when
villagers moved from village Drenovo are resting beside
a large, old tree Jaorovo and so named Jaorec. Of

Lavchani belongs to the type of planinki villages and is

again and the other villages worked in the oven for bread.
Today there are more families that are not returned for a visit, and
their children remained there for ever to live. This was not

Residents of Malkoec in the past and later dealt

faith, Macedonian race, customs as anywhere in MaceMacedonia. The pressures of the various conquerors were unable
to force
nothing to do but to inflict harm on villagers. As
people said: Tooth for tooth or head to head. So it was

some families were left without grain, yet kept stocks

because goats ate them in other countries. In effect justice

past.
This contributed the favorable location of the settlement.
This settlement dating from the period, BC from the ancient
Macedonians

descendants
today is the strain-Katsura Brsjaci by birth Macedonians. During
Roman power Obezishta oddredeni duties, larger than
other villages. After the departure of the Roman army village not
was destroyed. This means that later came the criminal
groups and tribes looted, and in a period before
coming to power of Justinian, was burned and Obezishta
destroyed. Byzantine soldiers spending in this area is
saw this sad sight. Residents were avoid
mountains and villages without food for themselves and
goods. Byzantine
army found hiding where residents have collected and returned

in the village to build huts and houses with their help. Now
settlement was named monks with twenty people.
The population again began to cultivate land and
recovering. In that period the village and live there good fruit

criminal
groups were killed in an ambush. So that part was under the
administration of

Therefore this period for all settlements in this part of
Western Macedonia was safer. With the death of King VolkaShin and Emperor Marcus Ottoman army with all heat beats
the village monks and sramnuva the country. These settlements as
and many others in Kopacka not recovered as such never.
After a period osmanliiite invited them to residents

POPULATION IN Boot - Kicevo
The existence of man on Earth, until now no
can not say exactly when he-man exists or
appeared. Write more books that appeared over
two million years. In my humble understanding, running over
them
All written encyclopedias, evidence from antiquity to the present,
I'm sure it existed much, much earlier. Even
I think there are many advanced civilizations that
many people write that story, but I think that
truths. Indeed it is a difficult task to solve this
moment. It taught that man became the Monkey, here today
has monkeys, but no one became man. This theory for me
many others is unacceptable. Also the theory of the sun.
Sun and its own history in or Prasonce. Smart
chapters written about prehistory. There should be no
grounded theory of the existence of man and subhuman, which I
that it is false. Thinking Earth by sending us your womb
many things today are still not clear about the man. Theories
which were written in the past about the man were unsustainable.
I am, and that they know and technologically advanced countries,
that we have constant visits from other planetary systems are
ask where? I think for a long time it will
a secret. In antiquity wrote that fly overhead

space is the theme of this book is wonderful area
Shoe-Kichevijata. In this space we can write that
was populated very long ago, why? Because when in Europe
Macedonia later ruled the seas and lakes, Kicevo
Lake was limited to the upper Kopacka with the overpass
intersection.
That means section of Kicevo of Lake Ohrid, in which
period high mountain peaks were without water. Since that
time had to live there and fauna. It is inevitable and
human existence over which bends the passing space
from one area to another to afford food and other things.
Just like today writes that man first appeared in
kvartelniot period, so it is written in theory. Of
presumably in the Jurassic period with regression-povlekuvanje water lakes emptied. Such natural phenomena
occurred and is occurring. With the withdrawal of water from
Kicevo lake and all lakes in Macedonia, in the Jurassic
period remain today: Ohrid, Prespa and
Dorjanskoto lake. I am sure that this area was populated
Ohrid - sunset
much earlier than it is assumed, since the climate
was very favorable for the development of any kind wildlife. Of

so-called period of prehistory. Man existed
these spaces and survived through the whole nature around

thereof. In Kopacka registered two points of the period of


Neolithic. I think that in this section and wherever any
land had to exist habitats of people. This would
made a comparison of a small lizard-called retarded
which is probably the first live reptiles that created the
planet. That lizard does not matter if you have a male
him but if the pair would have fertilized eggs, and lays
leaves in the sun. After a certain period of these eggs occurs
living being. Crocodiles are large and grdosii
multiply by eggs using solar heat. Why would
say that our Lord is above the sun. The sun is our
Creator.
The population in the ancient period BC is ancient
Macedonians who occupied the area where they lived,
Macedonian Peninsula (from the other Balkan century).
Ancient Macedonian kingdom and make major reforms
reaches high cultural values, especially during
the reign of Philip II of Macedonia. In this period
Macedonian Empire BC has advanced and diverse
diplomatic progress, which means then laid the foundations of
diplomacy used today. At the time of
Philip son, Tsar Alexander III of Macedonia

today are engaged in agriculture, the domestication
animals and their exploitation.

Leaving aside the reasons for which no one knows. In
period of IV century on the orders of thieves and history
much money someone dosetnik guessed erase strain
Katsura as ancient Macedonians. He wrote that
Macedonia live Berzin and the VII century Katsura receive
another name Brsjaci and somewhere Brzjaci. Scientific world
especially in Europe, well aware that the Macedonians still
continuing their kind from antiquity to the present, and possess
very tangible evidence. Too easy and funny when
listen to someone named historian that Macedonians will die,
and we have added another former as printing. Others say the
name is
your third say the church is not yours. This is ridiculous and just
temporary unfortunate today in the XXI century of a nation, a
civilization,
Biblically country can not use his or her back

past two millennia Macedonians were tortured
used in various wars to kill each other, unfortunately for
Fortunately Macedonian faith Ojai alive. I'm happy
today many politicians in Europe and the world want to
stand on the side of justice. The funniest thing is that some of the
past not existing states or nations, with the help of other
stronger you take your country, your property producing the
States of a foreign country, while stealing the name of the people,

year in our house came in Albanian Zajas Twin and Dlapkindol. With my grandfather talked so friendly for nights
think like brothers. My grandfather helped a lot, not only
but he and all the villagers and village Ivanchishte Kopachijata in

left their fathers to visit and greet. Their
