The conservative Gordana
Siljanovska Davkova, the first woman Head of State in the former
Yugoslav country, sworn in as the new president of North
Macedonia today during a ceremony in Parliament in Skopje.
When reading the oath formula, however, she used the term
'Macedonia' and not 'Republic of North Macedonia', the new one
inserted in the constitution after last years' agreement that
ended an almost 30-year dispute with Greece. For this she was
taken back by the president of Parliament.
