Decorations of the Republic of Macedonia

Branko Beštak ; The Zagreb City Museum, Zagreb, CRO

Abstract

After gaining independence from socialist Yugoslavia, the Republic of Macedonia,
as a new European state, began enthusiastically and earnestly to create its own system
of decorations as a sign of its sovereignty, honouring and using all the rules of phaleristics.
This work resulted in fine and artistically original and interesting decorations,
created by using elements that reflect Macedonian identity, ethnography and history.
The author shows the development of modern Macedonian phaleristics in a short
presentation of the history of how the orders and medals were created and the legislative
procedures connected with this activity.
