Macedonia is ready to change its name and the last decision belongs to the people
And that is precisely why the next September 30 all Macedonian citizens will be invited to go to the polls to vote on the change of name of the country of the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (recognized by some states in the world) to Republic of North Macedonia . This popular referendum is the symbol of the end of a secular conflict with Greece and will allow Macedonians to propose again (if the vote confirms) their membership of the Union. European and Born
The choice of Macedonia's new name comes from the agreement signed with Greece on June 17, the day that theoretically put an end to the long-term dispute. more than 27 years on the use of the (still current) name of the Macedonian state
Zoran Zaev Macedonian Prime Minister, said that the referendum will only have 39; a "consultative" character, declaring the same thing Alexis Tsipras Greek Prime Minister, that the process of validating the name will be completed by January 2019. It therefore seems almost official the l & # 39; adoption of this new name for the Macedonian state, even if the result of the September popular vote (if it is contrary) could strengthen the rejection position carried by the oppositions. If the yes prevails, the adoption of the name should go through the Macedonian Parliament, garnering a two-thirds majority vote, which does not currently exist.
