Most of the Serbs don't give a damn about Macedonia in that sense generally, most of the Serbs rather look at them as our southern neighbor and friendly people.
But there are people (including myself) who think that by seceding Macedonia made a problem to herself and also to the whole region. First because Macedonia is too small to take care about her own business, and will always be a tool in the hands of some great power (like USA f.e.). With only 2 million inhabitants barely will ever have any opportunity to develop.
Second, by seceding she gave the right to Albanian minority to secede from Macedonia and later join the project of greater Albania, which will be the new atlantist stronghold in this part of Europe.
Generally the goal of USA is the return of the Turkey as a great power in the Balkans, so that's why they're supporting Bosnian Muslims and Albanians. The smaller the countries are and the more of them, the better for the Americans. Because they can easily control them and in that way prevent the Germans from reaching the near and middle east. Greeks are not stupid people, they will never allow the use of name Macedonia, because they know it will be used against them and the whole Balkans for creating a new Ottoman monster.
Third, by seceding Macedonia also opened a possible clash between Serbia and Bulgaria over the control of the Vardar valley, which must be avoided at all costs, because that's precisely what USA/NATO wants.
I see 2 possible solutions for this problem.
Macedonia could enter the union with Serbia, in that case we could join forces and fight the American backed Albanians with the help of Russia a lot easier. Macedonians could keep their identity and autonomy without problem.
The second is union with Bulgaria. In my opinion not a good solution, because Bulgaria is already in NATO and will be used as a tool against Russia and Germany too. In the case Bulgaria objects she will fall as the first victim of Turkey. Macedonians would in that case also loose identity.
