Yugoslavia no longer exists but the country between historical Macedonia and Yugoslavia when it did exist would be the Socialist Republic of Macedonia, given autonomy and renamed from Vardar Banovina as part of a communist expansionist agenda to wrest historical Macedonia from Greece and forge for itself a strategic pathway to the Aegean for Yugoslavia.
According to wikipedia.org/wiki/Yugoslavia: "The first country to be known by this name was the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, which before 3 October 1929 was known as the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes." The second country with this name was the Democratic Federal Yugoslavia, proclaimed in 1943 by the Yugoslav Partisans resistance movement in World War II. It was renamed to the Federal People's Republic of Yugoslavia in 1946, when a communist government was established.
The area of Socialist Republic of Macedonia is 25,713 square kilometers and was the southern part of Yugoslavia that was named Vardarska Banovina before the communist regime renamed it.
The Independent State of Vardar Banovina ended in 1944 when communist Joseph Broz - Tito leader of communist Yugoslavia renamed it Socialist Republic of Macedonia in order to wrest historical Macedonia away from Greece and forge for Yugoslavia a strategic path to the sea.

No. Yugoslavia began to break up in the 1990s. Some new countries that formed as a result of that breakup joined the EU in 2004 and later than that. Some of the countries that were part of Yugoslavia are not members of the EU, but may join in the future.
In 1991-92, The former Yugoslavia broke up. Croatia was one of the countries that was then formed. In 2003, the remaining Yugoslavia changed its name to Serbia and Montenegro.
