GREECE HOPES OF COMMON
ACCEPTABLE SOLUTION FOR THE NAME
Official Athens expects from the new Macedonian government to show interest
for collaboration with Greece in order a common solution to be find for the
dispute of the name. Under common acceptable solution implies a name for
Macedonia and for international usage and for bilateral communication with
Greece. The greed vice-minister of foreign affairs, Janis Valinakis, hopes
that the new government will be interested in the spirit of collaboration to
find a common acceptable solution for the name.
After the statements given by the mandator Nikola Gruevskinad by the future
chief of diplomacy Antonio Miloshovski, Valinakis stated that the
negotiations between Athens and Skopje under a patronage by UN are referring
to the issue of the international name of the neighbor country. According to
Valinakis, that is a topic of the negotiations, and not the way which Greece
is calling it. He also says that any other action put them under distrust,
even undermines the substance and the sense of the negotiated procedure in
the frames of UN, and also is not appropriating to the European perspective
of the country and its agreements. |

THE EU SEEKING
Bettering of the economy isn’t only a priority of the Macedonian citizens,
but also a base seeking of the EU in order to open the path towards
negotiations for membership. In front of the new Macedonian government a
giant economic construction yard has been up righted, Brussels evaluates.
“In the following four years Macedonia should pass a significant part of the
way to entry the EU, and the journey is impossible without building ability
for managing with the market forces and the competition in the EU.
A large part of the European Commission’s thinking about our country is
dedicated exactly to the economy and gives clear directions for the new
government’s work”, Brussels says.
Basics culprits for the bad economy and the insufficient commercial growth
of our country, according to the functionaries from Brussels, there are
some.
First of all, the ownership that is not fully defined, no transparent
procedures of the economic transaction, inefficiency in the banking sector
and backwardness of the administration and the judiciary. |
