Just for the record, this isn’t Spain. Macedonia is in the middle of the Balkan Peninsula. Used to be a part of the former Yugoslavia. Both Greece and Bulgaria consider it at one time to be a part of either country.
Thank you - Despite my travelling all over the planet, I’m extremely geographically challenged.
It is not really “Macedonia”. The name a provice in Greece.
It would be like New York claiming they were the original “York”.
Pella where Alexander the Great’s wife and son are buried, where his father King Philip is buried is in Greece along with Palace of the period. The burial mound is open to the public as a museum. The artifacts are written and similar to the rest of the ancient greek writings.
Either way, you are dealing with a collapsed communist block nation in FYROM. (former yougoslav republic of Macedonia) They have no real economy other than exporting people, black markets, white slavery, and other corruption.
THE ONLY hope of containing it there is for the EU to intervene in this non-EU government and essentially do the job. Blue helmets would be worse than useless.
A landlocked country, the Republic of Macedonia is bordered by Kosovo to the northwest, Serbia to the north, Bulgaria to the east, Greece to the south, and Albania to the west.
