    Serbia and Greece are brotherly nations, both Christian Orthodox suffering under the Ottoman Empire, allied during most wars, etc. The serbians wont like being called greeks but they will hate less than others.

    And we can always change it to “romioi”, ie “romans”(of the greek variety, Eastern Roman Empire aka Byzantine Empire). The serbians and others in the region would be more cool with that.

    Romioi is even used in modern greek(mostly in literature) as equivalent of “greek”. Romaioi is the term for the Latin romans.
