Who volunteers to tell the Serbians that they’re Hellenic?
With Bulgarians it’s enough telling them that those ignorant Westerners can’t distinguish between Greeks and Thracians. Something similar could work with Romanian about Dacians. With Serbs I don’t see this working - it would mean they are Macedonian, and I don’t see how they could swallow that.
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 it 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.
