* The ''Formerformer Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia'' (FYROM) is a term used to refer to the [[Republic of Macedonia]] by the [[United Nations]], the [[European Union]] and a number of other international organisations. The term came to be used as the result of a [[Foreign_relations_of_the_Republic_of_Macedonia#Naming_issue|naming dispute with Greece]]. Some countries use the term to refer to the [[Republic of Macedonia]] as a stop-gap measure before a full resolution of the naming dispute.
