The Greeks don't much care for Macedonian independence.
They don't care for the name and insist that officially the country is called the 'Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia'. Snappy.
They don't care for the flag either, claiming it as a Greek symbol.
I kind of understand their frustration... It is after all the coolest flag in the World!
Putting Greek complaints about the flag and the name to one side, FYROM, pardon me, Macedonia, was rather lovely.
Skopje is a bit of a concrete jungle it's true, but there is a lovely run of bars and restaurants along the riverside and I had several wonderful meals there. The castle is worth a stroll to the top of and people were very friendly and welcoming to me as a visitor.
