Muslim minorities and the role of foreign influences on Islam in Macedonia
Hauerová, Andrea ; Pikal, Kamil (advisor) ; Tejchman, Miroslav (referee)
The bachelor thesis focuses on Muslim minorities of the Republic of Macedonia and analyses the role of the foreign influences on Islam since the proclamation of the independence of Macedonia. Following the fall of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia Muslims were exposed to a new geopolitical order what was strongly connected with the redefinition of their identity and religious attitudes. Considering the period of suppression of the religion during the socialist regime, a space for new external actors appeared. At first, the unstable situation during the 1990s attracted external Muslim actors from the Arab world that were trying to spread their practice of Islam among Muslims in the Balkans. The case of Macedonia was influenced by the conflict between Albanian Muslim minority and the Macedonian state which turned into an armed conflict in 2001. In the following years, Turkey began to develop more active foreign policy towards the region of the Balkans which led to a significant rise of its influence. Besides the analysis of the role of foreign actors, the thesis deals with the activities of Macedonian state itself. The thesis argues that in the case of Macedonia it was Turkey that began to play a major role in the last decade.

The language contact occurs when two or more languages interact which leads to linguistic changes, one of the most common changes is borrowing of vocabulary. There are different types of languageborrowings, however, the most researched ones are the lexicalborrowings. In this thesis the Turkish loanwords/phrases were divided into groups based on their degree of domestication in the Serbian language(each group is presented by examples). Further, there is an analysis of the sound system changes of the language that have occurred as a result of adaptation of Turkish words/phrases into the Serbian language structure (each sound change is presented by...
