Hi Mārtiņš,
That's correct; this is in reference to the original Wikimedia Macedonia.

Hi! I assume this is the original Wikimedia Macedonia Chapter and not the Shared Knowledge User group which has been organizing all current activities in Macedonia.

Hi everyone,
Recognition as a Wikimedia movement affiliate — a chapter, thematic organization, or user group — is a privilege that allows an independent group to officially use the Wikimedia trademarks to further the Wikimedia mission. While most affiliates adhere to the basic compliance standards set forth in their agreements with the Wikimedia Foundation, a protocol has been developed to address the exceptional cases when a Wikimedia movement affiliate does not meet basic compliance standards and their continued recognition as a Wikimedia movement affiliate presents a risk to the Wikimedia movement.
On February 13, 2017, Wikimedia Macedonia was notified that their access to the Wikimedia chapter benefits was being suspended as a result of long-standing non-compliance with reporting requirements, and informed of the deadlines for returning to compliance in order to avoid de-recognition. As Wikimedia Macedonia did not submit the required reports by these deadlines, they were subsequently notified that they would no longer be recognized as a Wikimedia chapter after the termination of their Chapter Agreement on September 10, 2017.
As always, if you have questions about what this means for the community members in Wikimedia Macedonia’s geographic area or language scope, please refer to the affiliate de-recognition FAQ (https://meta.wikimedia.org/wi ki/Wikimedia_movement_affiliate_de-recognition_FAQ) or contact the Affiliations Committee directly.
