Macedonian Holidays

Sometimes when a Macedonian holiday falls on a weekend day, the Government of the Republic of Macedonia makes a proclamation, a few days before the holiday, to inform the general public that a different day will be the "observed" holiday.

Note: Yom Kippur is a Macedonian holiday for those of Jewish faith only and Kurban Bajram and Ramazan Bajram are holidays for those of Moslem faith only.

The Embassy is open for regular business for all others.
