It will take months (maybe years) to be official! And no need to mention that progress can stop anytime.

Some territories should appear in the next major update, but not as Republic of Northern Macedonia. That name for now is only a deal that officially doesn't bother the governments of the countries involved in the issue. First, it has to pass on a referendum in Macedonia. If it does pass, the government will have to get a 2/3 majority vote in the parliament in order to amend the constitution (without which Greece has said will not support any further developments) but since the ruling coalition itself does not represent 2/3 of the parliament, and the opposition which actually is the party with the most seats in the parliament, said will oppose any attempts at name change. And they have the power to. Also, the president of the country, who is a member of the opposition party, has already voiced himself that he won't sing any law that includes name change. On top of that, even if everything goes as the government plans, and the referendum, parliament and the president all pass the name change, the deal will still have to pass in the greek parliament, which if it doesn't, the issue will be stuck in place, like it has been ever since independence.

Exactly! It's a long and complcated process that may fail at the end! There is too much opposition in both countries. Here a survey showed that 73% of people are against the agreement!

I wonder if there will be named tunnels on the A2 from Thessaloniki to Ioannina

In 2.30, Macedonia (FYROM) will come with the name; "Macedonia" due to the way SCS has named it in their locale.scs file. If and when the name does change to "Northern Macedonia", SCS will have to change the locale.scs file, which we cannot open because it is locked. End of that discussion; no more talk about the name of that country please.

Are there any photos of development in Republic of Northern Macedonia ?

[CptCaribbean]

There are some photos on page 96

And PLEASE, don't start again with the "north macedonia" thingie, there is literally a comment above yours which expresses perfectly the way how we'll name it here. So from now on, its name will be "Macedonia" (as it appears in the SCS's files) or "FYROM".

In the FYROM, will you split the highway like irl?

It will probably just be like 500m or sth. right?

West part of splitted highway is one of the most beautiful parts of E75. It uses old road, so you can see 60 speed limit.
