Macedonian Prime Minister Zoran Zaev on Saturday paid tribute to the courage of Greek lawmakers after their vote to approve the renaming of his country to settle a decades-old dispute. “We all know very well that it wasn’t easy,” he told a conference in the city of Veles, a day after the 300-seat Greek parliament narrowly approved the measure. Since 1991, Athens had objected to its neighbour being called Macedonia because Greece has a northern province of the same name.
