A Greek-Romanian conflict finally erupted during the Macedonian Struggle that led to battles and fights between distinctly oriented Aromanians and the break-up of Greek-Romanian diplomatic relations in 1906. During this time, there were also pro-Bulgarian and pro-Italian Aromanians, but in more reduced numbers. Romanian influence over the Aromanians weakened shortly before World War II. During the European communist regimes, the Aromanian question lost relevance, but after its fall and the minority policies of the European Union, the question has been "reopened". The Aromanian identity has managed to prevail in modern Slavic states (Bulgaria, North Macedonia and Serbia), as well as in Albania recently and in the Aromanians descended from those who migrated to Romania since 1940, as those who migrated earlier are mostly assimilated. In Greece there are also areas where the Aromanians have maintained their culture, especially in the regions of Grevena, Veria and near Athens. Those modern pro-Greek Aromanians often identify with Greek culture and show rejection of the Romanian one, while modern pro-Romanian Aromanians see themselves as part of the Romanian ethnic group with a different dialect of the same language, disassociating themselves with Greek culture.
