Sounds good for business.
Way to go.
At a time when global economics doesn't totter so far from the precipice, is this wise? I think it rather juvenile. Not to mention irresponsible. These idiots are playing with people's lives and livelihoods.The thing is, they have far more to lose since we are their second biggest market after Deutchland. Yet they dare stop our flour and wheat!
The Minister of Economic Affairs already declared that the matter is urgent.
Dardanian Macedonian trade wars!
Dude, enough already! There is no such country "Dardania" in the world. It's only in your fantasies.
It is my prediction. I shall stick by it until it becomes real one day and then carry on using it more.
Whatever, but make sure you stick to reality. There is Kosovo, not Dardania. Speak so everybody can understand. Thanks.

To be fair, Greeks might say the same about the word Macedonia. Thread title might be better put as "two former Yugoslav republics in trade dispute."

That is far worse than "Kossovo" in so many levels! Firstly, we were brutally occupied and put by force into what was to be Yugoslavia since 1878! Endured atrocities in: 1878, 1912, 1945, 1989, and 1999 only to be free from it. We are glad that such a terrible concept no longer exists that even the word "former" would not suffice.
On a more present note "two former Yugoslav republics" is vague for there were 7 republics back then. Not to mention that we were not a republic ever in it thanks to Serbs, and as such it would not apply to us. Lastly it hints that former Slavic countries of Yugoslavia are in trade wars, which to Dardanians would be an insult since we are not and have never been Slavs.
The most crucial point that made enemies between our countries is the tendency of Slavs to assimilate us as they did to other former Illirian tribes ever since the Byzantine Empire. We survived that with effort and blood. For what? Only to be called Slavs yet again?!
Not really. Macedonia is recognized with this name worldwide. No one knows what Dardania is, except people like DDD. This region is known around the world as "Kosovo".
Should the world recognize the name Dardania, I don't mind calling them Dardania. Since then they are Kosovo.
You can see how Cannell and others may be a bit upset because you are using Dardania.
Yes, I am. Because when I look at DDD's profile it says: "Location: Republic of Dardania". Well, there is no such thing.
Are we gonna talk politics or talk crap?

Or the a greek guy would talk about Greece as the Byzantine Empire. "Yeah, we byzantines are going through a bit of a rough patch now but after we take back Constantinopole, it will all be good. "
I think Dardania is actually Kosovo+Albania, as far as I can understand.
Now this topic is close to DDD's heart so I don't mind him using this term. it's not like he's hurting anyone but himself and his message by not making himself clear to people.

balkanians dont like muslims because they always remind them of us
civilized europe..
While we use the fact of being Muslim so as to differentiate us from Slavs to a significant degree and do so both for our own national identity as well as for the rest of the world to know. Lessening taxes for being Muslim was not an unwelcomed side reward too!
This idea was practiced ever since the Ottoman Empire you know? Worked great during the time but eventually with your retreat the idea boomeranged back to byte us. From 1878 and onwards it was difficult to tell the world that we were not Turks neither!
l know

but the civilized west will never get it
why do you think they let the bosnians get raped and killed
mamma mia la turchia syndrome never ended

Look who is talking!
Anyway, I do not want to call my country with a Slavic originated name. The whole fuss of our being is about not end up being Slavs.
I am more optimistic that they will. I will tell them if asked as well as promote where I think we stand.
As for Bosnia I think it can be analogous to Syria. They had extremist Johadi's there too you know. Too many variables takes longer to crunch. Perhaps why Syria has been delayed till now.
