The name meets the requirement of Greece for geographical tendency, and it is also used by the citizens of the country in order to make the difference between the region of Aegean Macedonia in Greece and Pirin Macedonia in Bulgaria. A year ago, the President Advisor of FYRM Risto Nikovski officially supported the name "Republic of Macedonia (Vardar) ". It is very important the exact wording, using which will be registered the name.
