- I would whole-heartedly accept the new slogan. But tell me:
- Are there a Greek Macedonia, Bulgarian Macedonia, Albanian
- Macedonia and the Macedonia? Who are these last guys?
- The originals? Why no qualification, no prefix for them?
- And what are the bounds of Macedonia, anyway? Is there
- a Serbian Macedonia? A Hungarian one? Who fixed the bounds
- and when? And why?
