Greeks go crazy - Macedonian Transport Minister uses the Name "Macedonia" at Milan Meeting

Greece’s Deputy Minister of Infrastructure, Transport and Networks, Michalis Papadopoulos has condemned the use of the term the "Republic of Macedonia" by the Macedonian Minister of Transport Mile Janakieski during the informal ministerial meeting taking place in Milan, Italy.


The Minister for Transport, who takes part here as an observer, asked to speak at the meeting, said Papadopoulos for the Greek state-run news agency ANA-MPA. After the positive answer by the Italian Presidency, Janakieski used the term "the Republic of Macedonia" constantly in his speech, which has prompted the Greek deputy minister to intervene, by condemning the behavior of the Macedonian politician.


"I underlined that in the frames of the entire European family the country’s official name is FYROM. That is why there should not be and must not be such manipulations by the observers who attend the Union’s meetings, because in that way they can create serious problems in terms of cooperation with Greece," Papadopoulos reportedly said.

According to Greek media, the country’s deputy transport minister also said that "everybody should respect European standards," a statement which had won him the full support of the Italian Presidency, reports indicate.

Yesterday and today in Milan, an informal meeting of ministers is taking place, with the central topic of discussion being trans-European transport networks, as the host is the Italian Minister of Transport and Infrastructure Maurizio Lupi. At the meeting, besides transport ministers from the EU member states, Siim Kallas, Vice President of the European Commission in charge of transport and a number of mayors of larger European cities also attended.
