North Macedonia
Former Yugoslav republic
North Macedonia is a country in southeastern Europe, on the Balkan Peninsula.
Formerly the Socialist Republic of Macedonia within Yugoslavia, it declared independence in 1991.
The name changed from Macedonia to North Macedonia in 2019 to resolve a decades-long dispute with Greece, whose northern region shares the name.
