Macedonia has agreed to change its name, bringing an end to a
27-year long dispute with neighbouring Greece.
The former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia will now be known as
Severna Makedonija, or the Republic of Northern Macedonia,
providing sufficient difference from the neighbouring province of
Macedonia that lies within Greece’s borders.

“After months of negotiation we have managed to reach a deal
that will solve our longstanding difference over the name of our
neighbour,” Greek prime minister, Alexis Tsipras, said.
The two nations had been locked in the dispute “ever since the
former republic seceded from Yugoslavia and declared independence
as the Republic of Macedonia”, The Guardian says.
The language of the Republic of Northern Macedonia will still be
called Macedonian, as will the name of the people from the small
Balkan nation.
The BBC reports that the new name “will now need to be
approved by the Macedonian people and Greek parliament”.
