NORTH MACEDONIA

North Macedonia emerged from the breakup of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in 1991. The former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia became the Republic of Macedonia. However, this denomination creates a difference with Greece which considers that the denomination "Macedonia" is an integral part of the historical heritage of Greece. In 2018, a compromise is found and the country is renamed North Macedonia.
