Czech-Macedonian relations refers to the bilateral political relations between the Czech Republic and the Republic of Macedonia. Republic of Macedonia has an embassy in Prague, whilst the Czech Republic has a consular agency in Skopje. Bilateral relations are excellent and besides the fact that Macedonia became an independent country only in 1991, Czech-Macedonian relations have a long tradition.〔(Macedonia, Czech Republic nourish excellent relations, bolster economic cooperation ) Macedonian Information Agency.

''Liljana Grdžo Damovska; 22-05-2009''〕 ==Historical relations== Before 1991, much of the relations occurred in the context between Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia. Between the two world wars, from 1924 to 1938, the Czechoslovak Republic had a consulate in Skopje, which in that period was (as was the whole of today's Republic of Macedonia) a part of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. The Czechoslovak consul in Skopje in 1928, Vladimír Znojemský, underlined in his reports the existence of a Macedonian nation in Macedonia, which is "different from what the others are, whose people speak a different language and feel different".〔〔"''The consciousness of the Slavonic Orthodox population in Pirin Macedonia and the identity of the population of Moravia and Moravian Slovakia''". Sprawy Narodowościowe. Page 183-197. Instytut Slawistyki Polskiej Akademii Nauk. ''J. Rychlík; issue: 31/2007''〕 In the period between 1918 and World War II Czechoslovakia supported the several Macedonian initiatives on recognition of the Macedonian nation.〔 At that time, the Macedonian nation was not recognized by the authorities of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. Instead, the Macedonians were regarded as (Southern) Serbs. In 1968, when the Warsaw Pact invaded Czechoslovakia, the Socialist Republic of Macedonia (at that time a republic within the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia) supported Czechoslovakia.〔 A lot of manifestations were held throughout Macedonia in order to support Czechoslovakia and to protest against what was happening.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Czech Republic–Republic of Macedonia relations」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
