Abstract

This paper, based on my ethnographic fieldwork in Macedonia and Italy (2008-2014),, aims at showing two patterns of mobility observed after the collapse of Yugoslavia.They are both connected to contemporary political and economic situation in post-Yugoslav Macedonia, as well as refer to the situation back in Yugoslavia. The first one islabour migration of Macedonian-speaking Muslims from the western part of the countryto northern Italy. The second kind of mobility is immigration of Catholic women fromnorthern Albania to central Macedonia, in order to get married. In the context of these twokinds of mobility I will contemplate the concepts of regimes of mobility and post-socialism.I argue that in order to understand various movement of people, we cannot separateinternational from internal as well as spatial from social mobility.
