                          About Public Holidays in North Macedonia

                          North Macedonia's Ilinden Day (August 2) commemorates both a 1903 uprising against Ottoman rule and the 1944 first session of the country's anti-fascist assembly - two historical events, four decades apart, deliberately marked on the same calendar date. Independence Day (September 8) marks the 1991 referendum leaving Yugoslavia.
