(13 Feb 2019) Workers in the newly renamed North Macedonia began replacing road signs to reflect the change on Wednesday, following a deal with neighbouring Greece to end a nearly three decade-long dispute and secure NATO membership.
Border signs were altered in a precursor to a series of steps the country will take as part of the agreement, including similar changes at airports, on official buildings, web pages and printed materials.
Vehicle registration plates will also be given a new look, while passports and currency will be replaced over the coming years.
The name change resolves a dispute with Greece dating back to the country's 1991 independence from Yugoslavia.
Athens argued the name implied claims on the northern Greek province of Macedonia.
