North Macedonia

Administrative territorial entity Country Landlocked country Sovereign state

North Macedonia, Landlocked country in Southeast Europe.

North Macedonia is a landlocked state on the Balkan Peninsula, crossed by mountain ranges, plateaus and lake areas. The country borders five neighboring states and forms a geographic bridge between Central and Southeast Europe.

After the breakup of Yugoslavia, this territory declared independence in September 1991 and entered a long period of diplomatic negotiations. The resolution of the naming dispute with Greece in 2019 led to its current official designation.

Cyrillic script appears on signs and official documents alongside Latin letters, while in Albanian-speaking areas both alphabets are used equally. Orthodox monasteries and mosques shape the architecture of many towns, with religious festivals spread throughout the year.

The capital's international airport serves as the main entry point for travelers, while intercity buses run regularly to neighboring countries. Border crossings connect the country by road to all five neighboring states.

The Ohrid region hosts more than 200 animal and plant species found only there, which evolved in isolation over thousands of years. Medieval wall paintings decorate several sacred buildings along the shore, created between the 11th and 14th centuries.
