In 1991, a Balkan country adopted the name Macedonia (United Nations call it Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia), which borders next to Greece's northern region, Macedonia. This became a controversial row for it surrounds the topic of stolen identity and appropriation of Greek culture.
In June of 2018, the two countries came to a deal where it would be renamed Republic of North Macedonia. The change needed to be ratified by both governments. The Macedonian parliament ratified the deal on January 11, 2019; Greece is left to do the same. However, the Greek parliament is torn. Resulting in Defense Minister Panos Kammenos resigning ahead of the vote. Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras has said that he will be calling a confidence vote in hopes to settle this dispute.
