They have an error about Macedonia. Country's name is F.Y.R.O.M. and not Macedonia. Macedonia is the Northern part of Greece.

Macedonia is now called Macedonia. No one uses that abbreviation anymore. Greece was very afraid for annexation of their province, but I never understood that. I mean, Finmark in the north of Norway is not claimed by Finland. Zeeuws-Vlaanderen (a part of the NL's) is not claimed by Belgium/Flanders, nor is the Dutch province of North Brabant or Limburg claimed. The Grand Duchy of Luxemburg doesn't claime the Belgian province Luxemburg. The last time Germany claimed Strasbourg and surroundings are also more than 50 years ago. Not even Ticino or Valle d'Aosta in Italy are claimed by Austria and France, although they speak the same language.
I tend to think, Greece was paranoïd about Macedonia, where it shouldn't have...

This FYROM business is quite odd indeed, and yes, practically nobody uses that abbreviation. FWIW, the German federal government (Foreign Office) lists the country as "Republik Mazedonien (Republika Makedonija)", but with a note saying that the United Nations still uses the FYROM name.

and at the European Song Contest they still say "fomayugslvrepblcfmacedonia 12 points"

... now that is strange, it said "**SPAM** 12 points" - where did I write a spam word?
"fomayug-s-l-v-r-epblcfmacedonia 12 points"
why is SLVR (S-L-V-R) a spam word?

Oh, that is why the show takes that long.

Well, the website of the participating German TV network http://www.ndrtv.de/grandprix/teilnehmer/index.html lists all country names in their conventional short versions, and so do the English, French, or German Wikipedia articles. But since this year's ESC is in Athens, they may well insist on the FYRO part. No idea, by the way, why "fomayu..." is considered spam. Odd, that.
