There is no any ground for Greece’s worriedness due to any kind of Macedonian irredentism, reacted today the Macedonian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, after the statement issued by GreeK Foreign Minister Nikos Kotzias, where he indicated that what was problematic in the name dispute were the irredentist tendencies that the country is showing by demanding the name of Macedonia.
“Stressing this sort of perception only benefits the maneuver of diverting the attention from the real obstacles of Republic of Macedonia’s European integration process especially after the verdict of the International court of justice in 2011” said the MFA.
The reaction states that all issues should be solved through the process of building and that irredentism is not one of Macedonia’s characteristics.
“On our part, we appreciate that the solution for all sources of distrust for both sides should be found within the process of building trust. The irredentism is not a characteristic for the Republic of Macedonia which has continuously strived for regional cooperation. We appreciate if the same should be accepted by our southern neighbour” said the MFA.
