Both.

Nationalist Greeks are angry and so do nationalist Makedonians.

I would think both countries have more important things to protest about than name change, but then I don't live on Balkans.

Will of the people != will of the nationalists.

Can’t really say the will of the people is being ignored when referenda are planned, referenda which one can reasonably still presume will be binding.

[v_lisivka]

Both Greece and Macedonia are national countries, so in this case will of the people == will of the nationalists.

[newfoundglory]

Greece probably shouldn't have elected an anti-nationalist governing party then.

[v_lisivka]

Some nations have home: their own country, so in these cases people == nation, and will of the people == will of the nation.

[phobosdeimos]

Strange AFAIK the Greek-Macedonian border is not contested. Both countries acknowledge eachother sovereignty.

[v_lisivka]

Because of rules of NATO.

[immigrantsheep]

Things like these are, sadly, very important in the Balkans sigh

[FactolSarin]

I'm pretty sure the name of your own country is important to most people everywhere.

the first part of your last sentence: Welcome to Balkans!
