American pressures on Skopje PDF Εκτύπωση E-mail

Following interventions by friends of Greece, members of the US Senate – such as senators Barack Obama, Robert Menendez and Olympia Snow – the SR 459 bill, which supports the NATO entry of Croatia, Albania and FYROM, was withdrawn by its backers, Richard Lugar and George Voinovic. Although its withdrawal occurred for procedural reasons, it appears that its supporters were persuaded that it would not help the United Nations’ mediation between Greece and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia on the name dispute between the two countries. 

Meanwhile, just a few days before a new round of talks between Athens and Skopje on the thorny issue of a mutually acceptable name for the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, a key ethnic Albanian party has threatened to quit the neighbouring country’s coalition government unless the prime minister meets a series of demands, including recognizing Kosovo's independence.
