There were no Alexander the Great claims from FYROM before 1991. When I was at school in the 80's, we were never told that we were descendants from Alexander. This attempt to establish a link to ancient Macedonians has only happened since Greece started objecting to the name.

I seriously doubt that. Even back in the Jugoslavian era, I saw plenty of Greek tourists visit my country and nobody complained. I'm sure that most Greek households had television from at least the 1970's so most people would have been at least aware. But again, the Greeks said nothing until the Jugoslavia breakup.
