A macedonian with a "OVIC" in the end of his name is note a macedoinian???

Is that true ?

There are Macedonians with such names. Legacy of Serbianization policies during the interwar period. There are also Serb, Croatian and Bosnian minorities in Macedonia. Could be that too.

"OVIC" all my family were ....ovic(ch) in the past there was no option they had to be ...ovic...now we are all ....ski
i was wondering what OVIC means....and I was told that is diminutive of a name which comes as family name
in Macedonian we don't have that kind of expressing the family like the Serbians have
they say Petrovic for family of Petar which meas small or young Petar but we simply say Petrovski or Petroski
