The supporters of the political party of FYROM, VMRO-DPMNE, came out on Saturday night on the streets to rally against the change in the name of their country.

Thousands of protesters from across Greece converged Sunday on Athens' main square to protest a potential Greek compromise in a dispute with the neighboring the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM) over the former Yugoslav republic's official name.

The countdown for Sunday's rally in the center of Athens against the use of the name Macedonia by FYROM has begun. Government and opposition have turned their gaze to the great mobilization and there is anxiety across the political spectrum.
