Greek objections to the country's name have led to it being admitted to the United Nations and several other international fora only under the provisional designation Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia.

The romanization of Macedonian is the transliteration of text in Macedonian from the Macedonian Cyrillic alphabet into the Latin alphabet. Romanization can be used for various purposes,such as rendering of proper names in foreign contexts,or for informal writing of Macedonian in environments where Cyrillic is not easily available. Official use of romanization by North Macedonia's authorities is found,for instance,on road signage and in passports. Several different codified standards of transliteration currently exist and there is widespread variability in practice.
The 2001 insurgency in Macedonia was an armed conflict which began when the ethnic Albanian National Liberation Army (NLA) militant group,formed from veterans of the Kosovo War and Insurgency in the Preševo Valley,attacked Macedonian security forces at the beginning of February 2001,and ended with the Ohrid Agreement,signed on 13 August of that same year. There were also claims that the NLA ultimately wished to see Albanian-majority areas secede from the country,though high-ranking members of the group have denied this. The conflict lasted throughout most of the year,although overall casualties remained limited to several dozen individuals on either side,according to sources from both sides of the conflict. With it,the Yugoslav Wars had reached Macedonia. The Socialist Republic of Macedonia had achieved a peaceful independence from Yugoslavia in 1991.
The use of the country name "Macedonia" was disputed between Greece and the Republic of Macedonia between 1991 and 2019. The dispute was a source of instability in the Western Balkans for 25 years. It was resolved through negotiations between Athens and Skopje,mediated by the United Nations,resulting in the Prespa agreement,which was signed on 17 June 2018. Pertinent to its background is an early 20th-century multifaceted dispute and armed conflict that formed part of the background to the Balkan Wars. The specific naming dispute,although an existing issue in Yugoslav–Greek relations since World War II,was reignited after the breakup of Yugoslavia and the newly-gained independence of the former Socialist Republic of Macedonia in 1991. Since then,it was an ongoing issue in bilateral and international relations until it was settled with the Prespa agreement in June 2018,the subsequent ratification by the Macedonian and Greek parliaments in late 2018 and early 2019 respectively,and the official renaming of Macedonia to North Macedonia in February 2019.
