The Party of the Vlachs of Macedonia (PVM; Macedonian: Партија на Власите од Македонија, romanized: Partija na Vlasite od Makedonija, ПВМ; Aromanian: Partia Armãnjilor ditu Machidunie, PAM), sometimes simply referred to as the Party of the Vlachs or the Vlach Party (Macedonian: Партијата на Власите; Aromanian: Partia Armãnjilor), is one of the two political parties in North Macedonia representative of the Aromanian minority of the country, the other being the Democratic Union of the Vlachs of Macedonia (DSVM).
It was founded in 2001 in Skopje by Mite Kostov Papuli (Aromanian: Mite Costov Papuli, Mita Costov Papuli), who was also a member of several many other Aromanian organizations of North Macedonia. Papuli died in 2020, at age 61, as a result of COVID-19.
In March 2020, the PVM joined the Renewal coalition, which includes parties such as VMRO-DPMNE.
In 2021, a representative of PVM, the DSVM and some other Aromanian organizations of North Macedonia met with the President of North Macedonia Stevo Pendarovski on the occasion of the Aromanian National Day celebrated every 23 May and demanded a constituency with guaranteed seats on the Parliament of North Macedonia for representatives of the national Aromanian minority. The situation of the minority in the country and the progress made so far in their minority rights were also discussed.

Why this record matters
“Party of the Vlachs of Macedonia” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Party, Vlachs and Macedonia provides the most credible route into that argument.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 10, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q109658896. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2001, 2020 and 2021.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
