abstract:The West Slavs are Slavic peoples speaking West Slavic languages. They include Poles, Kashubians, Silesians, Czechs, Slovaks, Lusatian Sorbs and the historical Polabians.
The Macedonian government, headed by Slavs in coalition with Albanians, has told the West that it can hold the lid on ethnic tensions if, and only if, western aid keeps rolling in.
