Greeks in North Macedonia

Greeks (Грци, Grci ) in North Macedonia form an ethnic minority numbering 294 individuals per 2021 census.

Current status
Greeks are mainly settled now in the cities of Gevgelija (Γευγελή, Gevgelī́) and Bitola (Μοναστήρι, Monastī́ri). Today most Greeks in the country are political refugees who fled Greece due to the Greek Civil War and their descendants. Ethnologue also cites Greek as an "immigrant language" in the Republic of North Macedonia. In 2002, 422 individuals declared themselves as Greeks in the census. The 2021 census recorded 294 individuals declaring their ethnicity as Greek.

Aromanians
There is a historical controversy surrounding a Greek minority within North Macedonia, that stems from the Ottoman era statistical treatment of Aromanian population groups in the country, which in their majority used to identify themselves as Greeks as part of the Rum millet. A large number of Aromanians with Greek identity left the region after the Balkan Wars, with Florina in Greece witnessing the arrival of a large Greek-speaking commercial population from Monastiri (Bitola). The present-day community is a remnant of the formerly larger Aromanian community of the part of Macedonia that fell within the borders of the Kingdom of Serbia after the Balkan Wars. Today, the Aromanians in North Macedonia are an officially recognized minority group numbering ca. 10,000 people, although some estimates put this number higher.
