Macedonia prepares for name change by removing signs
To be substituted with 'North Macedonia' ones
11 February, 14:41
(ANSA-AP) - SKOPJE, FEB 11 - Authorities in Macedonia have
begun removing official signs from government buildings to
prepare for its new name: North Macedonia.
"Government of the Republic of Macedonia" signs were removed
from the country's main government building early Monday in the
capital Skopje.
The small Balkan country will change its name to North
Macedonia after reaching a landmark agreement over the summer
with neighboring Greece, which has a neighboring province called
Macedonia.
Macedonia is due to become a NATO member now that Greece's
parliament approved a measure Friday that would allow the
country to join the alliance. Previously, Greece had blocked
Macedonia's accession to NATO. (ANSA-AP).
