The “Center of Macedonian Language in Greece” has announced that it has been officially registered as a non-governmental organization (NGO) by the judicial authorities in Greece.
The chronology of this historic event for the Macedonian language in Greece begins with the organization’s registration request, which was approved by the court on July 28, 2022. The decision was published in the Bulletin of Judicial Decisions and Publications on November 7, 2022.
The last administrative work related to the registration was completed last week, with the court officially approving the statute of the organization. Among other things, the Center of Macedonian Language in Greece sends its gratitude to attorney Kyros Spondis, for the successful completion of the entire procedure regarding the registration and entry of the organization in the court register of non-governmental organizations.
This is the first non-governmental organization in Greece, which will directly take care of the Macedonian language and which is legally registered by the Greek state authorities. This act represents a de facto recognition of the Macedonian speaking population in Greece.
At the same time, the fact that the court documentation officially lists the organization with its name in the Macedonian language is also significant – while also using the Macedonian Cyrillic script.
