Greece: No EU, Nato for FYROM until deal

The Greek foreign minister has reiterated that Athens would not allow Skopia to join Nato and the European Union until the “name row” is settled.

“Only then… [upon reaching a deal on the name] we would agree on Skopje’s membership to the European Union and Nato,” Dora Bakoyannis said in an interview for Greek daily Ta Nea, local news agencies reported.

Meanwhile, Skopia's deputy prime minister Ivica Bocevski likened the unresolved issue with Greece to a “rhino in a china shop,” and hindering Skopia's chances of realising its ambitions in an interview for local A1 TV.

In April, Athens blocked Skopje’s NATO accession due to the ongoing dispute. Greece argues that Skopje's name implies the country’s territorial claims on its own northern province which is also called Macedonia.

These statements come at a time when the two sides are expected to reply to the latest United Nations-sponsored set of ideas for a compromise to the row.
