"The Greek government views the term "Macedonian" as a geographic term that describes all Greek citizens living in the Macedonian region in northern Greece. The government denies the assertions of the ethnic Macedonians in Greece that they are are a minority group; officials refer to them as "Slavophone Greeks" or "bilinguals." - Human Rights Watch

Name Recognition

Under the rule of international law, there is no precedent granting to any government the power or authority to dictate to an independent sovereign nation what the sovereign’s name is or should be.

The United Macedonian Diaspora hopes that the United Nations, the European Union, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, and those nations who have not yet done so, will take the logical step of formally conveying full diplomatic recognition to Macedonia under her constitutional name, “Republic of Macedonia."

The people of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the people of Macedonia deserve to be called by the nation-state name of their choosing, regardless of what an international organization chooses to do on the matter.  The hard pressed independence which was won by both countries from the former communist Yugoslavia deserves respect and your help in holding the line against the inclusion of the Senate "FYROM" amendment.

UMD Salutes the Passage of S. 494 and H.R. 987; Concerned about Use of Abbreviation PDF Print E-mail
Friday, 16 March 2007
UMD salutes the passage of the Senate Bill 494 and the House Resolution 987 that support the timely admission of the Republic of Macedonia to NATO. However, our organization is concerned that at the last minute amendment to the Senate bill was introduced to reference to the Republic of Macedonia as FYROM.  This type of verbiage is contradictory to the official policy of the United States when referencing the Republic of Macedonia.  It is of great importance that Albania, Croatia, and Macedonia join NATO in 2008 in order to secure and stabilize the Balkan region.
