I really hope things change for the better. Being from the north of Greece I know first hand the difficulties with the name. I am very passionate about it but I understand we live in a different world. My feeling is that the Greek government and their NATO, EU allies pushed this forward now in order to stop the imperialistic plans of Erdogan in the region. I think with more Balkan countries in the EU, NATO influences start and stop with the West not the Russians, not the Erdoganites.

- fibbra 8y agoFYROM is a neighboring country to Greece. For the last 20+ years, the two countries were on a stalemate on this. Greece did not invest much into their northern neighbor. Turkey with Erdogan has more economic involvement in FYROM than Greece, even if there are no traditional links between them.

- deninho 8y agowell, as an Albanian neighbor of mine says: "We, Balkan people, see flags and react like morons". It describes Balkan people to the point. PS As a greek citizen, i couldnt care less about the name of our neighbors, as long as we live together in peace (and we do live in peace with them)
