World Macedonian Congress
Светски Македонски Конгрес

The World Macedonian Congress (Macedonian: Светски Македонски Конгрес, Svetski Makedonski Kongres) is an extreme nationalist organization[1][2][3] founded on 15 September 1990 in Gevgelija, SFR Yugoslavia (today's Republic of Macedonia). The organization considers itself as a non-formal World Parliament of the Macedonians from all parts of Macedonia [citation needed] and the whole world.[4][5] The World Macedonian Congress was the second of the two international lobby organizations or World Macedonian Congresses established in the Republic of Macedonia with the disintegration of Josip Broz Tito's Yugoslavia. It was created as a rival to the first World Macedonian Congress (created by John Bitove, a Canadian-Macedonian businessman with the encouragement of the first president of the Republic of Macedonia, Kiro Gligorov) by the opposition (VMRO-DPMNE) politician Todor Petrov and current president of the Congress. Petrov claimed the Congress was created partly to replace the "Institute for the Macedonian Diaspora", which had been discredited through its past association with the Yugoslavian secret service.[6]

Niche Dimovski, the vice-president of the World Macedonian Congress, wrote and produced the "Macedonian Prayer", which aired in a 9 minute video on Macedonian Radio-Television (the public broadcasting organization of the Republic of Macedonia), in which the God is presented calling the people of the Republic of Macedonia the oldest nation on Earth and progenitors of the "white race" who are described as "Macedonoids" in opposition to "Negroids" and "Mongoloids".[7][8]
