After converting *.md to *.tex with pandoc, no bold and italic in pdf file

Question

I am using this command to convert md file to tex

pandoc -s --bibliography teatar.bib --filter pandoc-citeproc 1.md -o cit2.tex

When I compile, I receive pdf file, but no italic and bold. However, in tex file there are proper \emph and \textbf marks.

My MWE:

Any help, please?

EDIT: My markdown source

# Наслов 1 Title 1
Некаков текст *италик* и **болд**
Some text *italic* and **bold** њитх референце [@Alexander.2004,1]

# Title Наслов

Некаков текст *италик* и **болд**
Some text *italic* and **bold** with footnote.[^1] 




[^1]: footnote text текст на фуснота. 

# References

Answer 1

Following @Alan Munn advice, I add \usepackage[macedonian]{babel} and commented \usepackage{lmodern} Now I have bolds and italics. :-)

Answer 2

The following combination works for me.

Here is the markdown source:

---
lang: ru-RU
---

# Наслов 1 Title 1

Некаков текст *италик* и **болд**.
[Some text *italic* and **bold**]{lang=en-US} њитх референце.

# Title Наслов

Некаков текст *италик* и **болд**
[Some text *italic* and **bold** with footnote.]{lang=en-US}[^1]

[^1]: [footnote text]{lang=en-US} текст на фуснота.

The Pandoc manual on p. 41:

lang identifies the main language of the document using IETF language tags (following the BCP 47 standard), such as en or en-GB. The Language subtag lookup tool can lookup or verify these tags. This affects most formats, and controls hyphenation in PDF output when using LaTeX (through babel and polyglossia) or ConTeXt.

Using Pandoc (v. 2.11), use the following command and then compile using pdfTeX:

pandoc -t latex -o output.tex source.md -s

You could also generate a PDF directly using the following command:

pandoc -t latex -o output.pdf source.md

Output:
