Pffff... It became complicated! Let me explain.
The country called Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia is one of 6 
former republics, from which Yugoslavia was consisted. Macedonians are 
one of Souther Slavic people, who came to Balcanian peninsula during 7th 
century. Their state is located between southern Serbia and northern 
Greece, and they accepted the name Macedonians according to famous Greek 
region.
Their language is Macedonian, and it is not the same as Serbian or 
Croatian. It is much more similar to Bulgarian. They use cirilic 
alphabet, so cirilic is not language! Cirilic alphabet is also in use in 
Serbia, Montenegro, and one part of Bosnia and Hercegovina. All of these 
countries have the same language, which is different from Macedonian. 
Yes - it's difficult, all of these languages are different just from 
political reasons.
