The Macedonian Question

The name dispute between Athens and Skopje.

Interesting article can be read at OpEdNews titled: Time's Up for "Macedonian" Perverse Nationalism.

Here are two small snippet from the article:

...the Greek concern isn't the name itself, but what lies benieth the use of the name: Articles 3, 68 and 74 of the Constitution of the self-called "Republic of Macedonia" include reference to a "possible change of the existing borders"

[...]

U.S. Congress and Senate share the above concerns. On August 3, 2007, senators Barack Obama, Olympia Snowe and Bob Menendez introduced to the Senate a resolution (S.R.300) calling Skopje to "stop the utilization of materials that violate provisions of the United Nations-brokered Interim Agreement between FYROM and Greece regarding hostile activities or propaganda"
