Agreement Prespa

The Athens-Skopje relationship must on both sides be placed on firm foundations that will allow Athens to stop being phobic and introverted and will open the way for the resolution of other issues.

In a stormy cabinet meeting, Kotzias ripped into Kammenos, charging that the defence minister is actively undermining the interests of Greece and the government.

The domestic clash that is raging in FYROM is not due only to disagreements over the accord. Foreign interventions by the two competing sides find fertile ground, due to the particular ethnic composition of the country.

Had the Tsipras government decided to recognise the existence of a “Macedonian” identity from the first round of talks, or not? The minutes from FYROM revealed that Kotzias had consented to this.
