North Macedonia

The Republic of Macedonia (Macedonian: Република Македонија or Republika Makedonija), often referred to as Macedonia, is a landlocked country on the Balkan peninsula in southeastern Europe, bordered by Serbia to the north, Albania to the west, Greece to the south, and Bulgaria to the east. It was admitted to the United Nations in 1993. The UN, some other international institutions and some countries use the provisional reference the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (F.Y.R.O.M.), pending resolution of a naming dispute with Greece, which has an adjoining province also called 'Macedonia' (Greek: Μακεδονία). The capital and the largest city of Macedonia is Skopje (Macedonian: Скопје) - which is the name Greeks use for the whole country.
