Hi All,

Has anyone heard what the ICJ case is upto against Greece? Has it concluded or come close?

T.

You can find the latest developments here: http://www.icj-cij.org/docket/index.php ... e=142&k=89

don't expect anything to change if mkd gets a favorable verdict.

gr will still veto and the western powers dont care enough to exert influence over them even though they're bailing them out.

Thanks guys, usefull link............ And you guys are right, it just sounds
Like greece can do no wrong....

imho its not that gr "can't do anything wrong" its just mkd has been completely inept & complacent for 20 years

take the negotiations. gr is competing and mkd is compromising. gr takes a hardline stance and sticks to it, mkd meanwhile is seen as dragging it along and gets blamed for not negotiating. here's what i mean http://www.negotiations.com/articles/ne ... -profiles/

mkd needs to change its negotiating style, compromising hasn't worked in 20 years and won't work now in the future


so this brings us to branding & marketing, which again mkd has done a piss poor job. they let gr & bg create brand confusion and have not defined targeted audiences and begun a campaign to highlight mkd's strengths and diffuse the negative. there's noone in skopje that "controls the messaging". imaging if coca-cola let others create generic look a likes and cash in on there logo, would they sit there do nothing? macedonians do, we're prefectly happy to let greeks call themselves greek-macedonians and we don't even get offended when they call us slavs, skopjians, or fyroms
