- <p> A lot, at least for the 2 million residents of Macedonia. For
- more than a year, Greece has blocked this newly independent
- nation, with its capital in Skopje, from joining the U.N. by
- arguing that its name implies a territorial claim on a province
- of northeastern Greece also called Macedonia. The two sides have
- now struck an acceptable, if somewhat ponderous, compromise:
- Macedonia will be admitted as the Former Yugoslav Republic of
- Macedonia. Its flag, which Greece considers an emblem of
- Skopje's claim to Greek Macedonia, will be barred from flying
- at U.N. sites.
