I think North Macedonia is the country in question^^
It's not a new country, but it's recently renamed itself, because Greece blocked it's entry into the EU because by naming itself Macedonia (it's old name) it 'pretended' as if Alexander the Great was from it's region, when really he was from South Macedonia, which is now Greece.
Doesn't make sense, I hear you saying? Yup, I'd agree. That's Euopean politics for you
