Greece is challenged to consider the conflict in Bosnia Herzegovina and the implications for the region's sovereignty. From 1922 to 1930 and from 1974 to 1989, for instance, Greece's friendly relations with its neighbors to the north permitted Athens to concentrate on developments on the eastern front. For Greece a small, Western democratic, status quo country, located in the troubled regions of the Balkans and the Eastern Mediterranean the post Cold War outlook offers new challenges and opportunities. The exchange of populations between Greece and Bulgaria following World War I and between Greece and Turkey in the aftermath of the Greco-Turkish of 1922 altered considerably the ethnological map of Macedonia; many Slavophones left for Bulgaria and many Greeks from Turkey settled in Greek Macedonia. The plan's adoption of "Nova Macedonija" as the new state's name did not meet Greece's demands.
