"For many reasons. Citizens of this country feel as real descendants of the ancient Macedonian kingdom's population , they should keep their name
The current population of this country are mostly Slavic , like those in the Kingdom of Macedon . About 33% are Albanian, and among the rest 66% Turks, Bulgarian and other people. The reason there are no greeks & it is right next to the modern Greece is that the regions of Dyktiki and kentriki Makedonia were originaly Macedonian , but in 1913 it was annexed and all of it's inhabitants brutally massacred without mercy .
However , Greece has not apologised , given the land back , or even admitted the land was Macedonian . In fact , They still demand Macedonia changes its name to something not associated to the region of their homeland they lost."

>>>>> I'm leaving the previous edit as it is and comment on it below, so you can better understand the problem.
1.slavs entered the European territory and more specific the Balkan peninsula in the early 6th century AD. nearly a thousand years after Alexander the great lived and died.
2.Ancient Macedonian kings identified themselves as Greeks attested many times in ancient scripts. Two of the most vigorous examples:
3. The ancient Macedonian kingdom, during the time of Philip II's rule, conquered all the places that he passed through, but DIDN'T acquire any land now occupied by the newly formed state of Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. The parts belonging to ancient Macedonia outside of the historical area of Greece constitutes less than 4% dispersed between Albania, FYROM and Bulgaria, which can easily be verified on a map of the ancient kingdom compared to the modern Slavic state. The land on which the Former Yugoslav Republic created its newly founded state contains ancient Dardania and Paeonia. They were separate kingdoms which only paid tribute to the king of Macedon as conquered kingdoms and who only paid tribute until the end of Alexander the Great's reign.
4. After the death of Alexander the Great, there followed a state of decline for the kingdom he left behind. Centuries afterwards, the declining kingdom fell into the hands of the intruding Romans. The Roman Empire settles in the greek area and begins to adopt everything Greeks for their empire due to the admiration of Greek civilisation With the elevation of the Greeks to the Eastern Roman empire, the Byzantine Empire was born, (also know as the Empire of the Greeks). Macedonia is subject to the Byzantines till 15th century AD. Greeks have lived in the area now for more millennia. Ottoman Turks conquer the empire, but also the Bulgarian and Slavic hordes to the north that had entered the area from the 6th century AD. With the open administrative units created by the Ottomans, the Greeks were forced to live alongside the Bulgarian, Slavic and Turkish people that had relentlessly tried to invade Greece. The Ottomans having slaughtered many Greeks through the invasion brought in Jews fleeing from Spain to alter the demographics of Greece and weaken the ethnic balance. The Balkan wars saw the Greeks liberate themselves against the Ottoman Turks and fought off the Bulgarians and Slavs who wanted to stake their claim over the lands freed from the Turks due to its strategic value. Ports, valleys and big cities meant economic incline for a country. Slavs needed to forge their way to the sea instead of being landlocked in the peninsula.
Greece liberated their land and their people that had been occupied and subjugated by foreigners. The agenda by foreign interests to acquire the historic land of Macedonia continues in reinvented form.

The Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia is not a member of the European Union. It may want to join to avail of the benefits of being a member like trade and funding for development.
Greece is a country. There is some dispute over whether Cyprus is a Greek Island or not.Greece is a country in Europe. Which means that there are no countries in Greece because Greece IS the country.
The country of Yugoslavia no longer exists. It has broken up into 6 independent countries. You would need to find out what part of the former Yugoslavia your parents were born in, and then contact the appropriate embassy for THAT country in your OWN country. For example, if your parents were born in Croatia and you live in the USA, you would want to contact the Embassy of Croatia in USA. The new countries (made up of the former Yugoslavia) are: Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Serbia, Kosovo, and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM).
You might want to elaborate on what it is you're asking. We can't help if we don't understand the question.
In Greece you can wear anything that you want.
Republic because you can do what you want
First, you fly to the Dominican Republic, then you say "I want to kiss you."If you mean to ask, "How do you say 'I want to kiss you' in Spanish?", which is the predominant language in the Dominican Republic, it is "Quiero besarte."
A republic state is a state that relies on their citizens to vote who they want to vote for like the elections we have. We are a republic state.
Nobody. Slovenia Croatia and Macedonia declared independence in 1991 but the government did not want to allow it and it sent its army
Official name is Czech REpublic but if you want you can reffer to it however you want. Some suggestions easier than Czech Republic are Czechia or Czechlands, or if you want to sound smart you can use one of historic names such as Lands of the Bohemian Crown.
A former employee is a non employee. You can discuss what you want.
He was following his dead father's plan to conquer the Persian Empire, and needed stability at home to both secure Macedonia from the Greeks in his absence, and for the Greeks to provide reinforcements for his army.
