Skopje, February 10 (MIA) - Government spokesman Ivica Bocevski, considering yesterday's information broadcast by Sitel TV station that the Government had passed 12 directions for action in case Greece vetoed Macedonia's accession to NATO, said he refused to comment hypothetical situations.

- The Government of Macedonia will not comment hypothetical issues, including this one that refers to possible veto by Greece for our accession to NATO. Country's top state officials have established regular communication. Surely, Macedonia, being normal and organised country, in such given situation will undertake all measures at its disposal as responsible member of the international community, said Bocevski answering a journalist question at Sunday's press conference in the Government.

Sitel TV station reported yesterday that Macedonia will officially revoke the interim agreement, thus is validity will be annulled, and that the name dispute talks with Greece or any other country will be stopped if Greece puts veto on Macedonia's accession to NATO.

In that case Macedonia will send official request to UN on recognising the constitutional name. Given the intention, Macedonia will turn to the Security Council of General Assembly, or to both of them, if it evaluates that it's the best option.

According to Sitel, Macedonia in case of Greek veto will organise a referendum for preserving the constitutional name in order to prevent any current or future high-profile politician from changing the name. Moreover, a procedure on retrieving the old flag will be instigated having in mind that the change of the flag didn't contribute to mitigating the name problem. It is anticipated this idea to be accepted because both Macedonians and Albanians honour Alexander the Great.

The TV station reported that, out of the same reasons, a procedure for retrieving the constitutional amendments from 1992 will be started, while appropriate legal procedure regarding the minority issue of the Macedonians in Greece will be launched.

Sitel insisted that hundreds of streets, highways, buildings, stadiums, sports halls and squares will be renamed, bearing the names of great ancient Macedonians.

According to Sitel, the Tabanovce-Bogorodica route of Corridor 10 will be named Alexander the Great Highway, whereas the new airport in Stip will bear the name of Philip II.

The TV station foresaw that closer ties with Northern Cyprus will be established, as well as the partnership with USA and Turkey will be reinforced.

We need this article Greek style please.

interesting let us see...Can a war incur over a name?First time in history...hahahahha....This will not please the Greeks that is for sure hhahahhaha but i think it is a baseless report from this station to be honest

"Sitel insisted that hundreds of streets, highways, buildings, stadiums, sports halls and squares will be renamed, bearing the names of great ancient Macedonians."

Η Ελλάδα ούτως ή άλλως θέλει να αποφύγει το veto. Αυτό που φαίνεται να επιδιώκει η κυβέρνηση είναι να προσκληθεί μόνο η Κροατία να γίνει μέλος του ΝΑΤΟ φέτος, και η ένταξη των άλλων δύο να αναβληθεί. Έτσι δεν θα καταγγελθεί και η ενδιάμεση συμφωνία καθώς τυπικά δεν θα έχουμε εμποδίσει την ένταξή τους σε διεθνή οργανισμό.

You 're funny Robocop. What do you think? This will make you real macedonians?

Αυτό είναι αυτό που Έλληνες καλούν "καλές σχέσεις γειτόνων".


This is what Greeks call "Good Neighbor Relations". MAKE MY DAY VETO !

Apparently, Alex, you as a Canadian, have no problem at all whatever the consequences for the inhabitans of RoM will be. Staying away from Europe and to join a Club along with Turkey, "northern Cyprus", Kazakhstan, tajikistan etc etc will make you happy, because all the streets in RoM will be named after the ancient macedonians...

I just LOVE LOOKING at this Stefano ..

Congratulations Alex, you are really a "great patriot". But you would be a real patriot if you moved to live in your beloved RoM to show your "solidarity" to your folks.

Better yet, my own village of Nevoleni, Lerinsko Makedonia.

Yeah... but Lerinsko will remain in the EUROPEAN UNION. Why dont you go to live in the "heaven" of ROM?

I can't because I'm still under contract with my agent John Rossen and he would not be pleased to say the least.
