Below, an excellent, straight-forward Op-Ed from Gunter Lachman of Die Welt, which asks all of us to recognize the European Union for what it is: a failing institution, and certainly not “as advertised”. The interesting thing is the extent to which support in Macedonia for EU membership seems to...
http://umdiaspora.org/content/view/640/1/ TORONTO – MARCH 6, 2012- United Macedonian Diaspora representatives held meetings with the Canadian Minister of Foreign Affairs and nine other Canadian parliamentarians between February 24-March 2, 2012, in Ottawa and in Toronto.

In advance of the NATO summit in Chicago, in May 2012, the Macedonia in NATO campaign is in full swing. Therefore, it is a useful moment to re-examine why the Greek government is so intent on denying NATO membership to its northern neighbor, despite the ICJ ruling which...
Another sharply worded article from the National Post on the real situation in Greece, telling it like it is. It seems that the National Post and Globe and Mail are competing to see who can rub it in more, but even the Star gets a few good shots in...

The Greek government continues to use its paid employees – Greek Orthodox priests – as political mouthpieces, in their 100 year campaign to negate the Macedonian identity. Here is the latest from Solun Metropolitan Anthimos, courtesy of Radio Ilinden Melbourne: На неделната литургија грчкиот Митрополит Атимос, реши и...
An interesting text from a British expat, although, he misses the fact that many of these “bad Greeks” that the government tortured on Makronissos were in fact not Greeks at all, but Macedonians, including my grandfather: When one sails from Lavrion to the island of Kea much of...
ПЕРВЕРЗНО Македонец во грчкиот парламент Не е случајно тоа што најлутите непријатели на македонското етничко движење во Грција се Македонци-гркомани. Јоргос Пападакис „Добар ден, момче.“ Гласот на старецот, кој спокојно уживаше во своето кафе во единственото кафуле во селото, ми предизвика насмевка на лицето. Секогаш беше убаво да...

Во Атина одржана дебата за евентуална промена на грчката стратегија во спорот околу името, по решението на Меѓународниот суд во полза на Македонија. За Атина неповолното решение на Меѓународниот суд на правдата е логична последица на Привремената спогодба од 1995 година, оцени денеска (10.01.2012) Евангелос Кофос, историчар и...
Sally McNamara telling it like it is: …In 2008, the Greek government unilaterally vetoed Macedonia’s accession to NATO. That action broke with an age-old principle that NATO members do not play out bilateral disputes within the alliance. Last month, the International Court of Justice ruled that Greece had violated...

I read another lucid column from Jason Miko today, this time on the ICJ ruling, including the following excerpt: “After the verdict was read, many Macedonians, non-Macedonians and even the media pronounced the decision a “moral victory.” But is it? (The ICJ ruling stated) “…there is no reason...

However, what is not so clear is what this will eventually...
