Why Greece blocked North Macedonia from joining NATO ?!
All started In 1991, when North Macedonia gained it’s independence from Yugoslavia under the name of Republic of Macedonia.
This name didn’t pleased Greece because it was too similar to the region called Macedonia located in the northern Greece, so they blocked the Republic of Macedonia from entering the EU and NATO just for this simple reason.
In 2019, both countries agreed that the country should be named North Macedonia and in the following year, North Macedonia joined NATO and will most probably join EU in the near future.
