Prespa Agreement

'The NATO membership goal was uniting our country for almost three decades and after periods of crises, regional instabilities and domestic disappointments - the moment of NATO accession was a truly historic event for us. '

It is obliged to point out omissions and delays in implementation and to stress the need to expedite the work of the committee on changes to school books – not to hide behind artful ruses.

'For us, war is not the solution, nor is a Cold War based on frozen clashes. If you permit a clash to fester for a long time then the ice melts only through clashes as we see in many parts of the world,' the former PM said.

In an interview with FAZ on the eve of the signing of the accord, North Macedonian PM Zoran Zaev says it is a win-win situation, though problems may arise.

The PM is expected to raise the issue of North Macedonian officials violating the terms of the Prespa Accord, including in the EU, but trade and investment will dominate.

Due to opposition for the Prespa Accord, MPs who represent districts north of Larisa are unable to meet citizens as they are treated either with indifference or contempt.

The Greece-North Macedonia Prespa Agreement may have solved the naming problem, but it creates a series of problems in a number of areas.

Despite being pressured by the moderator and Zaev to say whether his party will honour the agreement if it comes to power, the main opposition leader refused to answer.

The former chairman of the joint chiefs of staff describes the government as a bunch of neo-communists with no respect for Greece's national interests.

'Before the ink of the signatures on the Prespa Agreement dried, the Ambassador of North Macedonia to the European Unioreferred to her country as "Macedonia" during an official preparatory meeting,' said ND spokesperson and MEP Maria Spyrakis

A whopping 67 percent replied that the Prespa Agreement will greatly affect the electoral outcome.

In Athens, the Russian state-run Sputnik’s report was viewed as the next stage in Moscow’s fervent opposition to the Prespa Agreement and to North Macedonia’s admission to Nato,

The attacks came even as Kammenos’ Independent Greeks party lost the status of a parliamentary party (which requires five MPs).

Those who are today engaging in machinations to secure their handicapped parliamentary majority believed that in democracy everything can happen and be justified.

The move is a bid to end the political uncertainty of whether the government has the constitutionally mandated parliamentary on each and every vote.

Because in our peculiar country there is an underlying current of political instability, it would be best to come to a radical and clear solution now.

Gennimata expelled from the party the leader of the small, cooperating Democratic Left party, Thanasis Theocharopoulos.

Recent comments by Zaev have fueled criticism that the agreement permits Skopje to interpret it as it sees fit.

The report also concerns itself with Skopje’s EU course, and it calls for a roadmap for implementation and enforcement of the Prespa Accord in the longer term.

The conservative leader said that if he is elected PM he will refuse to interpret Article 2 of the agreement as signaling that Greece must consent to Skopje’s EU admission.

Will the government be prudent in handing out benefits or will it open the state coffers and along with them a Pandora’s Box?

For those under the age of 25 there was a sub-minum wage of 510 euros a month which was abolished today by the cabinet.

The weight of Nato's planning has shifted to our country with the unconditional consent of the Greek government and to the three countries of the so-called Western Balkans – Albania, Kosovo, and Skopje.

Isolated from the Greek people, burdened with politico-ideological fixations, and with a limited understanding of the contemporary world, Mr. Tsipras cannot keep up with international trends.

This chasm between the country’s name on the one hand and its ethnicity and language on the other leaves a bitter taste for almost all Greek citizens
