What Do Macedonians (In Skopje) Think Of The Macedonia Name Deal?

in #news6 years ago

Josh Friedman reports from Skopje, Macedonia about the recent agreement and upcoming referendum that may resolve the longstanding name dispute between Greece and Macedonia, aka FYROM. Hear from locals about the their thoughts on the deal that would change the name of their country from Macedonia to North Macedonia.

Also, do Macedonians in Skopje want their country to join the European Union and are they willing to sacrifice the existing name of their country for EU membership? And how might Macedonia's demographics shape the vote in the upcoming referendum on the name agreement?

Curious what GREEK MACEDONIANS THINK OF THE MACEDONIA NAME DEAL? Watch my interviews with locals in Thessaloniki, Greece:

Joining the EU would be like boarding a sinking ship.

I agree the EU is terribly flawed, but if you're a young man or woman in a Western Balkan state where you get paid pennies on the dollar for certain work or are struggling to find any work at all, I can't blame you for being willing or even eager to give EU membership a try.
