As some ethnic Greeks identify themselves as Macedonians, unrelated to the Slavic people who are associated with North Macedonia, Greece further objected to the use of the term Macedonian for the neighbouring country's largest ethnic group; it accused the country of appropriating symbols and figures that are historically considered parts of Greece's culture (such as Vergina Sun and Alexander the Great), and of promoting the irredentist concept of a United Macedonia, which would include territories of Greece, Bulgaria, Albania, and Serbia.
Who acts: ethnic Greeks, Greece, use, irredentist concept · What happens: identify, associate, object, accuse, appropriate, consider · To what, where: judges, Slavic people, North Macedonia, country, appropriating symbols, irredentist concept
