Your salad is looking great and I am sure it taste just as great. However please note that Shopska is original Bulgarian salad, not Macedonian. It’s named after a geographical area in Bulgaria, called Shopluk. The people living in this region are called shopi and this name is currently attributed to villagers around Sofia (the capital of Bulgaria). From  Bulgaria the recipe spread to the kitchens of neighboring countries such as Serbia and Macedonia, where probably the confusion came from. I am sure Macedonians make similar salad, but the name it’s Bulgarian.
