Abstract

The main purpose of the article is to present how the Greek-
-Macedonian naming dispute influenced the problem of implementation
the international identity of Macedonia. Despite the initial problems of the
government in Skopje related to determining their international identity,
Macedonians managed to define the principles regarding the identification
of a new state on the international stage. As a small country with limited
attributes to shape its international position, Macedonia has basically been
determined to seek guarantees for its existence and security in stable and predictable
European international structures such as NATO and the European
Union. The main obstacle for Macedonians on the road to Euro-Atlantic structures
was the veto of Greece, a member of these organizations, resulting from
Athens’ refusal to accept the name the Republic of Macedonia. The Prespa
Agreement of 2018 gave a new impetus to the realization of the international
identity of North Macedonia.
