Part 1: Out of the Balkans

Introduction

Notes

  1. The awkward name, "Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia," is employed because of the existence of the Greek Province or "Deme" of Macedonia. The Greek government opposes the new state taking the name Macedonia. In 2002 the two governments were negotiating to settle the dispute. [Return to the text at note 1.]
