"Three countries, two lakes, one future" with Prof. Loring Danforth
The Canadian Macedonian Historical Society was pleased to host Professor Loring M. Danforth for an engaging virtual lecture titled “Three Countries, Two Lakes, One Future: The Prespa Lakes and the Signing of the Prespa Agreement.” Drawing from his chapter in Macedonia and Identity Politics After the Prespa Agreement, Professor Danforth explored the deep historical and political significance of the Prespa region, from its role as the capital of Tsar Samoil’s medieval state to its place in modern Balkan border-making and the signing of the 2018 Prespa Agreement. He examined how the agreement reshaped questions of national identity, language, and citizenship in the region, while highlighting the Prespa Lakes as a powerful symbol of both division and connection between Greece, North Macedonia, and Albania. Through historical analysis and contemporary reflection, Danforth encouraged attendees to re-imagine Macedonia as a shared transboundary space shaped by interconnected histories and a common future.
