Welcome to the MKUD GOCE DELCEV website
This
association is named after
a great hero of the Macedonian people, Goce Delcev. Goce
Delcev's involvement in VMRO
(Secret Internal Macedonian Revolutionary Organization) determined the most
significant course in the history of the Macedonian
national liberation movement. The years between 1894
and 1903 represent the final and most efficient
revolutionary sequence of his short life. They
comprise of Delcev's public education career as a
scholar in Novo Selo (near Shtip) and Bansko
(1894-1896), and of his ultimate engagement with the
revolutionary cause, pursuing the preparations for
the armed uprising of the Macedonian people.
Delcev's campaign trips across Macedonia, inducing
optimism, bright visions and firm confidence in the
successful goals of the Macedonian national idea. Goce Delcev's life
epitomizes the virtuous heroism of the proud Macedonian
nation. The Macedonian people have been paying an
extraordinary tribute and respect to Goce Delcev,
expressing them by annual meetings and anniversaries,
numerous scientific, folk and popular culture events, and
other manifestations of admiration for his history-making
personality, for his outstanding efforts.
Delcev's ideals are
incorporated in the history of the Macedonian collective
conscience perpetuated through the new generations of today.
St. Elijah holidays of 1903 and 1944, as well as the 1991
break away of Macedonia from the Yugoslav federation,
represent only a partial fulfilment of Goce's long awaited
dream for a free and independent state of Macedonia.
