Protesters in Macedonia decry proposed name compromise


The protesters marched peacefully from the main Orthodox cathedral in Skopje past the European Union office, chanting "Macedonia! Macedonia!" Greece says the country's name in its current form implies a territorial claim against its own region of Macedonia. Greeks also held a large rally in Athens earlier this month to reject a proposed compromise. As a goodwill gesture to Greece, Macedonia this month changed the name of its main airport from Alexander the Great Airport to Skopje International Airport.
