Politico reported on 12th June that Macedonia had reached a deal with Greece to change its name to the Republic of North Macedonia. Greece had contended that the name Macedonia represented a territorial claim over Greece’s northern province, also named Macedonia. The dispute has kept Macedonia — whose UN-recognized name is the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia — from joining NATO and the EU, where Greece has veto power over admissions. Macedonia will hold a referendum on the change, and both states will have to get their compromise through their respective parliaments.
