- Pelince
Pelince ( _mk. Пелинце) is a village in the
Republic of Macedonia nearKumanovo and theborder between theRepublic of Macedonia andSerbia . It is in theStaro Nagoričane municipality .The village became popular among the citizens of the
Republic of Macedonia in 2004 when a new national commemorative ofASNOM was built in the village, where the annual celebration of the Macedonian statehood (The Second Ilinden of 1944) has taken place ever since. This decision was brought due to the countinious refusals by theSerbian Orthodox Church authorities to allow Macedonian delegations to visit and celebrate theholiday in the actual venue of ASNOM, the Prohor Pčinjski monastery which is on Serbian territory near the Macedonian border and near the village of Pelince.
