Deutsche Welle: EU is ok with blocking Macedonia

-


I believe that the infinite name story will end very soon. Macedonia deserves a solution to the issue and I believe the new Greek government will have interest in giving its contribution after the elections, former Italian FM and ex Euro-Commissioner for Justice, Freedom and Security Franco Frattini told Deutsche Welle.

"With regards to my country, Italy has always been close to Macedonia. I think Italy will continue to help Macedonia and have a role in overcoming this unresolved problem, influence the creation of a climate of trust, so that the European Union finally gives the country a date for start of accession negotiations", stresses Frattini.

European Academy Berlin director Eckart D. Stratenschulte believes that a longer enlargement break would follow after Croatia and Iceland's EU accession.

"The current Union does not have the strength for a big enlargement, but one also has the impression that neither have the candidate-countries", assesses Stratenschulte.

Pertaining to Macedonia's Euro-integration, he says that the country has lost valuable time due to the name row with Greece.

"According to me, the country is not at fault for the loss of time. It is unfortunate that Greece blocked the start of accession negotiations, but it is also interesting to see how the remaining 26 member-states tolerated such behaviour by Greece", emphasizes Stratenschulte, adding that EU members could have put pressure on Greece if they had wanted to.

THE GREEK HERACLES WAS A BLACK MAN AND THE AFRICAN INFLUENCE ON GREEK AESTHETICS

By Samuel David Ewing It has occurred to me lately as I pondered about the next article for this section that the lineage, pedigree, or family tree of the Greek Heracles must be clarified once and for all. Diodorus Siculus and Herodotus recorded that it was the Egyptian Heracles who was the hero who performed the legendary 12 Labors, subdued the animals of the wild that had threatened the people, ushered in the building of cities, water systems, fortifications, and laws. Walter Burkert has estimated that this original Heracles was renowned as far back as 20,000 years ago. The Greek Heracles ended up receiving honors for the accomplishments of his predecessor, having the title of "Heracles", furthermore by the Bronze Age of Greece in which the Greek Heracles was said to have lived the taming of the wilderness had already been accomplished. The Greek Heracles was not likely to be wearing lion skin armor, wielding a club, with spear as weapons, and the danger of lions ru

Griechenland: 2,5 MRD Euro Stromschulden – Versorger schaltet bald erste 50.000 Kunden ab!

-
In Griechenland wird der staatliche Stromversorger in Kürze damit beginnen in einem ersten Schritt 50.000 Stromkunden den Saft abzudrehen. Die Außenstände belaufen sich insg. auf 2,5 Milliarden Euro. Betroffen werden vor allem Firmenkunden sein. Eine Katastrophe für die (vorhandene?) Konjunkturerholung. Es gibt einen handfesten Grund, warum die Höhe der Stromrechnungen in den letzten Jahren explodierte… Griechenlands staatlicher Stromversorger PPC hat Außenstände bei Stromkunden von insg. 2,5 Milliarden Euro, 1,8 Milliarden davon bei gewerblichen Kunden. Schulden haben insg. 2,1 Mio Stromkunden in Griechenland. Wenn man das umlegt auf die Gesamtsumme, wären das rein rechnerisch 1.190 Euro Schulden pro Stromkunde, aber bei 1,8 von 2,5 Milliarden Schulden durch gewerbliche Kunden dürften die Privatkunden natürlich deutlich kleinere Summen offen haben. In einem ersten Schritt will PPC demnächst 50.000 Stromkunden den Saft abdrehen nach vorheriger Mahnung, so berichtete es vor Kur

DAS ALBANISCHE ELEMENT IM MODERNEN GRIECHENLAND ...bevor Du mit dem Finger auf mich zeigst und mich Aufgrund des Titels und des Inhaltes wohl möglich etikettierst und vorurteilst, klicke erstmal  hier  und/oder  hier  , um meine Motivation (als Makedone) und den Grund für dieses Thema zu Verstehen. Aus Respekt gegenüber unseren südlichen Nachbarn (und natürlich mit der Bitte das sich unsere westlichen Nachbarn nicht deswegen diskriminiert fühlen), habe ich bewusst nur 99. Fakten übertragen. In dem Fall, kam der typische makedonische Trotz in mir zum Vorschein... "Was Du kannst, kann ich schon lange und natürlich besser" und damit überlasse ich nun den Fakten den Vortritt, ohne aber zu Vergessen euch darauf hinzuweisen das bald ein Thema folgen wird das das "slawische" Element im Modernen Griechenland behandeln wird. Yamas, happy reading....

- Greece has already lost in the case of the name issue. Ninety – five percent of the countries in the world accept the name Macedonia, and we continue to discuss this, said Nikos Dimou, a member of the Greek political party “Potami” (River) when guesting the show on Sky television. Dimou, a renowned Greek writer with more than 60 published books , said he supports a solution based on a composite name with a geographical qualifier, but added that he agrees that Macedonia can be called whatever they want “Macedonia as well”. - The name issue was mismanaged by the Greek government from the very beginning. It is a question for which we have already lost, Dimou said. As MIA reports from Athens, he added that it is his personal view and not the party’s, as he said, ” it has not established a position on this issue”. Dimou’s statement met with strong reactions by some Greek media. The electronic edition of “Hellene Elisis” commented that “the new party discovered their g
