Default Re: Hypothetical Flags for Balkan Nations

I still hold the view that Slavic presence in Greece is grossly exagerrated.

Furthermore, those maps are not contigous with ancient Macedon. Very little of FYROM is part of the territory of ancient Macedon. The region now referred to as Macedonia (the wider region in your map) is not contigous with what the territory of ancient Macedon was. The FYROMians have no connection to ancient Macedon. They are not a mixture of Slavs and ancient Greeks. The slavs in what is now Greek Macedonia never were FYROMians, they were Bulgarians and most fled after WWI. There were probably only a couple of thousand left after that and most of them were expelled for communist sympathies.

Furthermore. FYROM is a relatively new nation -- created post-1945 in a region where the people did not have an ethnic/national affiliation and where the people only referred to them selves as Slavs.
