Or maybe no Brit . Anyway , I lived in your Country and funny enough my question is how many are of british origin left ? Most Brits are running trunk around Spain and Cyprus . Question here is not why or for what reason Greece should remain in the EU , the question is why we still consider England as European , I NEVER heard any Brit saying he is European or including the UK in Europe !! You should not really talk here since you have NOTHING to offer to us Europeans ,, So feel free to exit asap and stop doubting Greece to belong to the EU since that is just ridiculous , and maybe you should consider to find your own Antiques and give Greece back what your predecessor Elgin STOLE from our Country as simple as that !! Go Drink your daily Pint and leave Democracy to People that have made it for thousands of years ,,,, Cheers Dymond , what a name for a Brit .. ? Or maybe no Brit .

Second, the name issue is not part of the Copenhagen criteria for membership of the EU. Third, a ‘mutually acceptable solution to the name’ has nothing to do with good-neighbourly relations; analysis of the content of this principle proves that. On the contrary, a ‘mutually acceptable solution’ violates the principle of good neighborly relations, especially the elements such as non-interference in the domestic matters of states, the principle of sovereign equality and self-determination.

Why dont we (I refer to the EU and specifically my own country, England) forcably eject Greece from the EU, avoid wasting another 113 billion and return the country back to living within its means. It would save a lot of time, and remove a destablizing influence in the region as well as the biggest path for illegal immigration into the other EU countries. Plus no one would stumble into another whineing thread like this by accident and waste a whole lot of time. Brilliant!. Now I fixed that I will go look at the trade deficit. I have a better idea.

All I think I have to say is that the Republic of Macedonia is in fact ALREADY a "fully functioning independent nation"... simply consider that prior to suggesting 'practical' opinions of such ignorance.

Nationalistic pride aside how can Abkhazia, South Sudan, Quebec or Macedonia hope to be a fully functioning independent country? Resources and infrastructure are necessary - not just flag waving. Perhaps a Greater Macedonia and a Greater Bulgaria is the answer but I feel that in the future we will see a world model based loosely on the Autonomous Republics of the Soviet Union - this time based not on directions from Vienna or Moscow, but on organisations that can take the regional views in hand - in peace.
