MarevaGrabowski A fresh start with stolen name and history.

At least they’re not killing each other the way the Croats Serbs and Muslim Kosovar’s did. All in the name of god.

BS

Are they really North Macedonians? Or are they foreign migrant descendants like Trump who pretends to be American but is ethnically a blood GERMAN ?

Beta nation. Should've kept their name and told the Greeks to fook off. None of that “it's already a place in Greece” nonsense

Macedonia Classic was taken?

All THAT to add the word 'North'? Most fraught minor re-branding ever.

UN envoy hails Macedonia's ratification of name dealATHENS, Greece (AP) — A U.N. envoy has praised Macedonia after its parliament approved a deal with Greece that would rename the country North Macedonia. Matthew Nimetz said in a statement that the agreement, which remains to be ratified by Greece, paves the way for 'a firmer basis for peace and security in the Balkans.' 'I wish to congratulate the parliament and the country's citizens for this accomplishment and for the democratic manner, in which this important process was undertaken,' he said. Terrific!! Oompa It does not make much sense - it implies there is (perhaps) South Macedonia and they may want to unite one day (even if this is completely absurd). The world appreciated this genuine compromise: thank you, North Macedonia for taking the high road! 🇲🇰

Greek defense minister resigns over Macedonia name changeATHENS, Greece (AP) — Greece's conservative defense minister, who leads the junior partner in the country's coalition government, resigned Sunday over the Macedonia name deal, which he opposes. Panos Kammenos announced his resignation after meeting with Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras on Sunday morning. He said his party is quitting the government. Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras said, in response, that he will ask for a vote of confidence in Parliament in the coming week. He added he had a 'frank discussion' with Kammenos, whom he thanked for his government partnership. A Soviet less for Greek politics Optimism for those who are against the deal. The ruling coalition will split up before Greeks venture into streets to demonstrate against the deal. This seems more like a political move to trigger new election though a no confidence vote. It is likely that some opposition incumbents will make up the list 7 coalition votes rather than risk facing voters given the volatility of the Greek populism no incumbent could feel safe
