Macedonian National Theater remains with the same name, and the Macedonian Philharmonic Orchestra becomes national because the name of the first institution has ethnic identity, and the second one is of national and state character, the Government clarifies.
"Macedonian National Theater remains the same, because it has Albanian and Turkish theater, and MNT is interpreted as a theater of the Macedonian people through which the Macedonian history, tradition, culture and its peculiarities are preserved and promoted, ie it has ethnic identity meaning," they explain the government.
The situation is similar with the museum that was known to the public as a museum of VMRO. Now he is the Museum of the Macedonian Struggle for Independence because, as the Government explains, it is a cultural institution through which the Macedonian history, tradition, culture and its peculiarities are preserved and promoted and is of historical significance.
"The adjective Macedonian is used whenever it is related to the ethnic and cultural identity of the people, ie the Macedonian ethnic identity, Macedonian language, Macedonian culture, Macedonian territory, Macedonian people, Macedonian history ... all other uses with NorthMacedonian are irregular," said spokesman to the government.
