On September 8th, 1995, the members of the ethnic Macedonian political party in Greece, the Rainbow Party, opened an office in the city of Florina, (Lerin).
Quoting the Manifesto of the European Free Alliance for the 2004 European elections:
The European Free Alliance has been standing up for the rights of stateless nations, peoples and regions for decades. Democratic legitimacy makes our cause unstoppable. To fully realise our historic rights and improve the social well being of our citizens and the economies of our countries we need to be fully represented in Europe.
The full representation for all peoples at the European level requires that they be given full respect and equality at the state level in those EU countries where stateless nations and peoples do not enjoy comparable status. As far as Greece is concerned, respect and recognition of particular identities (national, linguistic and cultural) must be given to ethnic Macedonians, Turks, Vlachs, Arvanites, Pomaks, and Roma, and the rights of those citizens identifying as such must also be fully respected. This is absolutely necessary to furthering the country's democratization and Europeanization process.

The flag of the party is white with the logo of the party. It can be seen on a photo taken during the Second Congress of the Party, hled in Florina on 27 November 2008.
The photo shows the flag with the name of the party in Macedonian; I believe there are also versions with the name in Greek and English.
