The EU Circus: Greece, France, Macedonia and Turkey
January 27, 2010
Discussion regarding the accession of Macedonia into the European Union was postponed until June 2010. Two countries have delayed
this process, the first of course being Greece which cannot accept Macedonia being a member of the EU. Neither can it accept the

'Macedonian' is unacceptable to Greece.

January 11, 2010

a Macedonian, while denying the same right to me and a number of other citizens, asks Pavle Voskopoulos, member of the collective
leadership of the ethnic Macedonian party in Greece Vinozito. He believes that statements such as that by Dhroutsas, in which the
