Macedonië dicht bij deal over naamsgeschil met Griekenland

June 12, 2018 - Officials in Griekenland en Macedonië zeggen dicht bij het bereiken van een ontwerpovereenkomst te zijn, om een decennialang naamsgeschil op te lossen – maar het voorgestelde compromis zal kritiek in beide landen stuiten.

Greece wants the former Yugoslav republic to change or modify its name to avoid any claim to the territory and ancient heritage of Greece’s region of Macedonia – birthplace of ancient warrior king Alexander the Great.

A resolution of the dispute would see Greece lift its objections to Macedonia’s accession to NATO.

But Greek opponents of the deal – that would likely rename the Balkan republic as “North” or “New” Macedonia – say it would not go far enough.
