with Greece? Greece is a member of NATO for many years, that is a fact. Also a fact is that Greece doesn't have good relations with their neighbours for so many years. They are in political conflict with Macedonia, Albania, Turkey...So they are still in NATO, and Macedonia can't become member in NATO only because we have some disagrees with Greece about the name? Just to remind you that NATO is a is a military alliance, so how it is possible the name of a country to be barrier for their membership?

Because they can't use the name "macedonia" Macedonia is a geographical part in Greece.The fact that once upon a time area was expanded to todays Skopia ,doesn't mean they can use the name Macedonia.

Because the Greek government is fanatic and most of the suffer from OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) - their lobby i so strong that none of the EU members wants to go against them. After all it is a Union so they should stick together.

Well guess what sweety -> most of the strong influential countries in NATO are EU countries and if Greece doesn't want us in - we will not get in! Unless of course we agree to their ridiculous conditions and take their crap! If one thing our government can agree on - is this: WE ARE NOT CHANGING OUR NAME!!!!

The Greeks don't have the guts to screw around with the Albanians coz the Albanians don't take any shit from anyone! Which I really like about them lately - if we were more like them - Solun would have been our capital by now!

The only reason the Greeks are so full of themselves is because we let them!

I say all of them should be put on antipsychotics ASAP!
