Both.
Nationalist Greeks are angry and so do nationalist Makedonians.
I would think both countries have more important things to protest about than name change, but then I don't live on Balkans.
- ben_w 8y agoWill of the people != will of the nationalists. Can’t really say the will of the people is being ignored when referenda are planned, referenda which one can reasonably still presume will be binding.
- v_lisivka 8y agoBoth Greece and Macedonia are national countries, so in this case will of the people == will of the nationalists.
- newfoundglory 8y agoGreece probably shouldn't have elected an anti-nationalist governing party then.
- v_lisivka 8y agoSome nations have home: their own country, so in these cases people == nation, and will of the people == will of the nation.
- immigrantsheep 8y agoThings like these are, sadly, very important in the Balkans sigh
- FactolSarin 8y agoI'm pretty sure the name of your own country is important to most people everywhere.
- nspattak 8y agothe first part of your last sentence: Welcome to Balkans!
- phobosdeimos 8y agoStrange AFAIK the Greek-Macedonian border is not contested. Both countries acknowledge eachother sovereignty.
- v_lisivka 8y agoBecause of rules of NATO.
