First of all, I didn't come from Edonia, and secondly, most of my ancestors are Greeks, not Bulgarians, thus I am Macedonian.Justinian the Great was born near Justiniana Prima which lies more than 100km into Serbian territory from your borders. Euridice was a Lyncestian, which means an Illyrian... She didn't play a role in the glory days of the Macedonian empire.
As for North Macedonia, we are content being the birth place of the likes Justinian the Great and Eurydice I of Macedon (mother of Philip of Macedon and grandmother of Alexander the Great).
You found by now that we used to marry the Lyncestian chicks. Have I ever told you what we Macedonians did with the Lyncestian males?
WE EXECUTED THE BASTARDS.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_of_Lyncestis
Alexander (Greek: Αλέξανδρος), son of Aeropus of Lyncestis, was a native of the upper Macedonian district called Lyncestis, whence he is usually called Alexander of Lynkestis or Alexander Lyncestes.[1] Justin makes the singular mistake of calling him Alexander's brother,[2] while in other passages he uses the correct expression.[3]
Background
Alexander was a contemporary of Philip III of Macedon and Alexander the Great. He had two brothers, Heromenes and Arrhabaeus; all three were under suspicion of involvement in the assassination of Philip II of Macedon, in 336 BC. Alexander the Great, on his accession, put to death all those who had taken part in the murder, and Alexander the Lyncestian was the only one that was pardoned, because he was the first who did homage to Alexander the Great as his king.[4][5][6]
Career
Moreover, King Alexander not only pardoned him, but even made him his friend and raised him to high honors. He was first entrusted with the command of an army in Thrace, and afterwards received the command of the Thessalian cavalry. In this capacity he accompanied Alexander on his eastern expedition. In 334, when Alexander was laying at Phaselis, he was informed that the Lyncestian was carrying on a secret correspondence with King Darius III of Persia, and that a large sum of money was promised, for which he was to murder Alexander. The bearer of the letters from Darius was taken by Parmenion and brought before Alexander, and the treachery was considered proven. Yet Alexander the Great, dreading to create any hostile feeling in Antipater, the regent of Macedonia, whose daughter was married to Alexander Lyncestes, thought advisable not to put him to death, and had him merely deposed from his office and kept in custody.
In this manner Alexander was dragged about for three years with the army in Asia, until in 330, when, Philotas having been executed for similar crime, the Macedonians demanded that Alexander Lyncestes should likewise be tried and punished accordingly. Alexander the Great gave way, and as the traitor was unable to exculpate himself, he was put to death at Alexandria Prophthasia, the capital of Drangiana.[7][8][9]
Alexander's likely motive originally, was to gain possession of the throne of Macedonia, which previous to the reign of Amyntas III of Macedon had for a time belonged to his family.

Vandals attack North Macedonia statues amid debate over history
North Macedonia's government faces an uphill battle in efforts to re-label public statues of historical figures, as vandals opposing the move have already removed several plaques.

I think that many people from Greece and North Macedonia were so sick and tired of this debate that they're at least secretly relieved with the agreement even if they may not agree with it. Going back to the debate will be opening a whole new can of worms and starting from square one again which many people would hate even more than the current agreement. So its hard for me to imagine VMRO winning, and then going for this change if they do win. I remember you previously stating that Zaev got elected on the platform of resolving the name dispute and he's more or less done that. But maybe I'm ignorant on the current situation. How realistic are VMRO's chances of winning in the next elections? And when are the next elections exactly?

I think VMRO will win. Probably next year. The current gov't is embroiled in corruption scandals which have prevented the start of EU negotiations. VMRO will tow the line on the Prespa Agreement, however I don't see them for example clamping down on vandals removing plaques and such.
