CNN on Macedonia's name issue

The World media finally decided to spend some time, and analyze the "Macedonian issue", the name dispute and the meaningless requests by the Greek government.

The reporter Nic Robertson plastically presents the current situation, interviews the Prime minister Nikola Gruevski, and shows a new perspective on the whole problem.

I think that finally is the time for the World to know that Macedonia is mobbed by Greece, and that all international law are broken in this despute with no ending.

Macedonia walks onward

A “Macedonia walk onward” is a video promoted by the Government of Republic of Macedonia, in anticipation of the visa liberalization that happened on December 19th 2009. Since then Macedonians can travel to the Schengen zone countries (EU, plus Switzerland, Iceland and Norway, minus UK and Republic of Ireland) with out visas.

This beautiful video was shot in Bitola, the second most important administrative centre in Macedonia, after the capital, Skopje. Enjoy this short video and come and visit. Macedonia welcomes you.

Greek politics on Macedonian issue tares EU apart

Greece once more showed why doesn't deserve the name "cradle of democracy". Today, once more in just 18 months Greece blocked Macedonia's euro integration process, after last years Bucharest NATO summit.

 
Today EU postponed the Macedonia's negotiation date, due to Greece's veto. But things didn't go so smoothly for Greece this time. Sweden, UK, Finland, Poland, Estonia, Italy, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Slovenia, Portugal strongly supported Macedonia, Germany and Bulgaria took neutral position, only Cyprus, France and Spain backed Greece.

EU is on a crossway. They have to decide either they follow their principals, or slowly they will fall a part. Macedonia and the Macedonians are important part of the European and the world history. Someone is trying to destroy that historical continuum. But like many times before, Macedonians will rise from the ashes and fight for their right to be free. MACEDONIA FOREVER!

P.S. Macedonia doesn't have problems with Greek people. We have problems with the Greek politics and the government no matter if it is PASOK or Nea Demokratia. This has to stop!

Macedonia gets visa liberalization!

Macedonia finally gets a visa liberalization! Macedonians can travel without visas in the EU countries and the countries of the Schengen Agreement, after 1st of January 2010.



Twenty-nine countries, including 25 European Union states and non-EU members Iceland, Norway, Lichtenstein and Switzerland are bound to the full set of rules in the Schengen Agreement. "The Commission's proposal needs to be approved by the [European] Council after having consulted the European Parliament," the statement added.

Macedonia has met all necessary conditions for visa liberalization, but for Serbia and Montenegro, the entry into force of the visa waiver will depend on fulfillment of all remaining open benchmarks of their respective roadmaps by the date of adoption of this proposal by the Council, the statement said.

This proposal for granting visas was made for Serbia and Montenegro, as well.
