meaning a medley or mixture, I guess.
Considering the mess of wars in the Balkans that makes

I was wondering if Greece ever got over its opposition to

Seems Greece has province of the same name and
considers the republic is making overtures to its
province by using the name, as if the name Macedonia
did not pre-date anything modern Greece could claim.
